Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 package yogurt-covered pretzels
- 1 package milk chocolate-covered pretzels
Decorations
- Colored candy melts (orange, red, green, yellow) – about 1/2 cup each
- 1/2 cup sprinkles, jimmies, nonpareils, dots, or Mini M&Ms
Instructions
- Prepare Pretzels: Lay out the yogurt-covered and milk chocolate-covered pretzels on a sheet of wax paper to prepare for decorating.
- Melt Candy: Heat the colored candy melts in the microwave or according to the package instructions until smooth and ready for piping. Transfer the melted candy into piping bags for easier application.
- Decorate Eyes: Pipe the candy melts into the top left and right holes of each pretzel to create the eyes.
- Add Sprinkles: Immediately after piping, add the sprinkles or small candies onto the melted candy for the pupils to ensure they stick before the candy sets.
- Set: Allow the decorated pretzels to set completely at room temperature or in a cool area until the candy is hardened.
- Store: Pack the finished Halloween pretzels in an airtight container to keep them fresh until serving.
Notes
- Work with about 6 pretzels at a time when piping and adding sprinkles to keep the candy melts from setting too quickly.
- Use a piping bag or small zip-top bag with a corner snipped off for more precise candy application.
- You can mix and match yogurt-covered and milk chocolate-covered pretzels based on your preference.
- If Mini M&Ms are used for pupils, place them quickly before the candy melts harden.
- Store pretzels at room temperature in an airtight container to prevent melting or moisture absorption.
