Spin a web of chocolate deliciousness this Halloween with these easy Spider Web Pretzels that are as fun to make as they are to eat. Perfect for parties or trick-or-treaters who deserve something special!
Ingredients
Scale
- 24 pretzel rods (7–8 inches long)
- 12 oz (340g) dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 4 oz (113g) white chocolate chips or melting wafers
- 1 tablespoon vegetable shortening or coconut oil, divided
- 1/4 cup black or orange sprinkles (optional)
- Small candy eyes for decoration (optional)
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and prepare a tall glass filled with uncooked rice for drying.
- Combine dark chocolate chips with 2 teaspoons shortening in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at 50% power in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until completely melted.
- Dip each pretzel rod into the melted chocolate, coating most of the pretzel while leaving a small handle. Tap gently to remove excess.
- Place dipped pretzels upright in the rice-filled glass or across a cooling rack.
- Melt white chocolate with remaining teaspoon of shortening using the same microwave method. Transfer to a small piping bag.
- Pipe 3-4 concentric circles of white chocolate onto each dark chocolate-coated pretzel.
- Immediately drag a toothpick from the center outward through the circles to create the web effect.
- Add candy eyes or sprinkles if desired while chocolate is still wet.
- Allow to set completely at room temperature for about 30 minutes or refrigerate for 10 minutes.
