What Are Pretzels?

Pretzels are a type of baked snack made from dough that is twisted into the traditional pretzel shape. They can be enjoyed plain, with toppings such as salt or spices, or dipped in chocolate or other flavors.

Why Make Chocolate Covered Pretzels?

Not only are chocolate-covered pretzels delicious, but they also make for a great Halloween treat because of their shape. The twisted shape of the pretzel resembles a monster or creature, making them perfect for Halloween decorations.

What Do Pretzels Taste Like?

Pretzels have a slightly salty and chewy texture, and when dipped in chocolate, they offer a sweet and savory combination. With only a few ingredients, you can make dipped pretzels for Halloween.

Ingredients For Vampire Halloween Pretzels

To make these Vampire Halloween Pretzels you will need the following ingredients: The recipe is super easy and really fun to decorate.

• 30 pieces pretzels
• 60 candy eyes
• 60 pieces candy corn
• 1 bag orange candy melts

Equipment For Melting Chocolate

You might also want to use a Wilton Chocolate Melting Pot for melting the orange candy melts.

The other option is to melt the candy melts on the stovetop or pop a microwave-safe bowl in the microwave and melt in 10 second increments. Continue stirring the chocolate melts until the chocolate is in liquid form.

What Is The Best Way To Thin Chocolate?

If your chocolate becomes too thick, you can thin it by adding a small amount of vegetable oil or Coconut oil.

How To Make Halloween Chocolate Pretzels

Melt chocolate (the orange candy melts) in your melting pot.

Using a skewer dip the pretzels into the candy melts and then place on parchment paper or freezer paper with the shiny side up.

Before the chocolate has set, add two candy eyes to each pretzel.

Add The Vampire Fangs

Add two candy corn pieces for each Vampire fang. I cut the top off the candy corn to fit the size pretzels I used.

If the pretzels you are using are larger you may not have to cut the candy corn. 

Let your Vampire Halloween pretzels set on the baking sheet and serve!

How do you serve these pretzels?

You can serve these Halloween pretzels as a snack, as part of a Halloween party spread, or as a treat for trick-or-treaters.

Pack the Halloween pretzel treats into a Pumpkin treat bag for a Halloween party favor or to hand out to trick-or-treaters on a plate or bowl.

These Vampire Halloween pretzels can also be packaged as gifts for friends and family. Simply place the pretzels into clear treat bags and tie with orange ribbon or twine. Add a spooky tag to complete the gift.

Can You Store Chocolate Pretzels At Room Temperature?

These pretzels can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 1 week.

Can I Use Different Colored Chocolate?

You could also try using different colored candy melts and candies to make other Halloween-themed chocolate pretzels, for example:

White Melted Chocolate Halloween Pretzels

Green Candy Melts For Halloween Pretzels

To make Frankenstein pretzels and zombie pretzels, use green candy melts and Halloween-themed candies or sprinkles. You can also make witch fingers using green candy melts and pretzel rods.

There are plenty of pretzel treats that you can make for the kids who come trick or treating at your home. They will love these pretzel treats and I’m sure the chocolate covered pretzels will go down a huge hit.
