Ingredients
- Pretzel Sticks
- White Almond Bark or Candy Coating
- Chocolate Almond Bark or Candy Coating
- Plastic Spiders
How to Make Halloween Spider Web Pretzels
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Split each pretzel stick in half. Place 8 pretzel halves in a star shape on the baking sheet.
- Heat white and/or chocolate candy coating in a microwave-safe dish according to directions until melted. I used a glass measuring cup with a pour spout to make it easier to pour into an icing bag.
- Add the melted candy coating to an icing bag and cut the tip. If the tip opening is too small, the webs will break. Start in the center and make a small dot to hold all of the sticks together. Then, working from the inside to the outside, create a swirl that goes over each pretzel stick.
- Once all of the webs are made, you can let them dry at room temperature for several hours, or in the fridge for 10-15 minutes, or in the freezer for 5-10 minutes.
- Carefully remove the spider webs from the parchment paper or silicone mat.
Tips
- Candy Coating/Almond Bark: Almond bark or candy melts work best-they're smooth, easy to drizzle, and hold shape when cooled. Baking chocolate will not harden or set.
- Melting: Avoid overheating, which can make it grainy. Use a microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring each time. Be sure not to let the candy coating come in contact with any water in the bowl or the utensil for stirring. Water will cause it to harden to where you can no longer stir it.
- Add Food Coloring: If you want a classic "spooky" look, you can tint the white chocolate black, orange, or purple.
- Removing: It’s easier and less likely to break if you lift the pretzels and paper/mat in your hand and pull the paper or mat from underneath, rather than trying to lift the pretzels straight from the pan.
- Extra Flair: Sprinkle edible glitter, tiny candy eyes, or Halloween sprinkles for more Halloween vibes.
