Scale
Ingredients
- 1 package yogurt-covered pretzels
- 1 package milk chocolate-covered pretzels (optional)
- Colored candy melts (orange, red, green, yellow)
- 1/2 cup sprinkles, jimmies, nonpareils, dots, or mini M&Ms
Instructions
- Arrange Pretzels: Lay out the yogurt-covered and/or milk chocolate-covered pretzels on a piece of wax paper, spacing them evenly for decorating.
- Heat Candy Melts: Following the package directions, melt the colored candy melts until smooth and pourable. Transfer the melted candy into a piping bag for easy application.
- Pipe Candy Melt Eyes: Pipe candy melts into the top left and right holes of each pretzel to form eye shapes. Work on about six pretzels at a time to avoid the candy melts setting too quickly.
- Add Sprinkles: Immediately after piping, press sprinkles or candy pieces onto the candy melt areas to create pupils on the eyes. This should be done quickly before the candy sets to ensure proper adhesion.
- Set Pretzels: Allow the decorated pretzels to set completely at room temperature until the candy melts harden and the decorations are secure.
- Storage: Once fully set, pack and store the Halloween pretzels in an airtight container to keep them fresh until serving.
Notes
- Decorate in small batches (about 6 pretzels at a time) to work efficiently before the candy melts harden.
- You can customize the look by using different colored candy melts and a variety of sprinkles or candies for pupils.
- Ensure pretzels are completely dry before decorating to help candy melts adhere better.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature to avoid moisture affecting the candy coating.
- If candy melts begin to thicken during decorating, gently rewarm as per package instructions.
