Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pack of pretzel rods
- 2 cups of good quality chocolate (milk, dark, or white)
- Food coloring gels in orange, black, green, or purple
- Assorted sprinkles and edible decorations (e.g., eyes, ghosts, pumpkins)
- Optional: Pumpkin spice flavoring or flavor extracts
Instructions
- Start by melting your chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler. Melt in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- If adding colors, divide the melted chocolate into separate bowls and stir in the food coloring gels for vibrant shades.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Dip each pretzel rod into the melted chocolate, ensuring full coverage. Gently tap off excess and place on parchment paper.
- Decorate with sprinkles, candies, or edible decorations before the chocolate hardens, creating spooky faces, pumpkins, or ghosts.
- Allow the coated pretzel rods to cool and harden at room temperature or refrigerate for faster setting.
Notes
- Use high-quality chocolate for better taste and easier melting.
- Temper the chocolate for a glossy finish if desired.
- Work quickly when decorating to prevent the chocolate from hardening too fast.
- Get creative with colors and decorations for a customized spooky look.
