Ingredients
Scale
Pretzel Webs
- 32 pretzel sticks
Chocolate Melts
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips
- ½ cup white chocolate chips
- 2 teaspoons coconut oil (divided)
Optional Decorations
- Halloween-colored sprinkles
- Candy eyes
- Small candy spiders
Instructions
- Melt the Chocolate: In two separate microwave-safe bowls, combine mini chocolate chips with 1 teaspoon coconut oil in one, and white chocolate chips with 1 teaspoon coconut oil in the other. Microwave each bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.
- Prepare the Pretzel Webs: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange 8 pretzel sticks per spider web in a circle, aligning one end of each pretzel at the center to form the shape of a web.
- Create the Web: Transfer the melted chocolates into separate ziplock bags and snip off a small corner from each. Starting at the center of each pretzel circle, pipe the chocolate in a spiral pattern outward to the edges, ensuring the lines are thick enough to hold the pretzels firmly together.
- Add the Web Design: Using a toothpick, gently drag lines from the center outward through the piped chocolate to create a classic spider web effect.
- Decorate: While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle Halloween-themed decorations like colored sprinkles, candy eyes, or small candy spiders to enhance the festive look.
- Set the Webs: Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes until the chocolate hardens and the webs set completely.
- Enjoy: Serve your spooky spider web pretzels at your Halloween party or enjoy as a festive, crunchy treat anytime.
Notes
- Ensure the melted chocolate is smooth and slightly warm for easy piping.
- You can substitute coconut oil with vegetable oil if preferred.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease removal of pretzels after setting.
- The freezer speeds up setting time, but you can also let the pretzels set at room temperature for about 30-45 minutes.
- Store leftover spider web pretzels in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain crispness.
