4 Spooky Halloween Treats 

Chocolate Pretzel Spider Webs

Serve: 6

Ingredients:

  • 30 small/thin pretzel sticks. You will need 5 for each spider web. 
  • 1 cup Chocolate chips, melted (I used dark and white) about 1 cup of each
  • Eye ball sprinkles
  • Halloween sprinkles 
  • Parchment paper 

Method: 

Start by placing the pretzel sticks as you see on the video on top of parchment paper. Using a piping bag or ziploc bag, add the melted chocolate.

Add a little extra chocolate in the middle where all the pretzels meet, that will hold them together.

Then start forming the shape of a circle/snail, going around from the middle to the outside. 

Using a toothpick, pull the chocolate to form the spider web. Add an eye sprinkle to the middle and extra Halloween sprinkles to the sides. Let it set and enjoy!
