What You Need to Make Spooky Spider Pretzel Treats
For the spider web pretzels, gather these ingredients:
- Pretzel Sticks: Gluten-free or regular, like @rold.gold.
- White Chocolate Chips: About 1 cup, like @nestletollhouse.
- Dark Chocolate Chips: About 1 cup, like @enjoylifefoods.
- Organic Coconut Oil: To help melt the chocolate smoothly.
How to Make Spooky Spider Pretzel Treats
1
Melt the Chocolate: In two separate bowls, melt the white chocolate chips and dark chocolate chips with coconut oil (1 tsp per bowl). Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, to prevent the chocolate from burning.
2
Arrange the Pretzels: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange 8 pretzel sticks in a circle, meeting in the center to form a spider web.
3
Prepare the Chocolate for Drizzling: Transfer the melted chocolate into a ziplock bag and cut off a small corner, or use a bottle squeezer for better control.
4
Form the Spider Webs: Start by putting a dab of chocolate in the middle of the pretzel circle to hold all the sticks together. Then, create circles around the pretzels until you reach the edges. Make sure the circles are thick to help bind the pretzels together.
5
Create the Web Design: Use a toothpick to run lines down the chocolate circles, creating a spider web effect. Decorate with festive sprinkles or any spooky toppings you like!
6
Freeze & Enjoy: Place the baking sheet in the freezer until the chocolate has hardened. Then, remove and enjoy your spooky treat!
