Servings: 18
Prep time: 5 minutes
Active Time: 15 minutes
Total time: 20 minutes plus drying time for chocolate to set
Storage: refrigerate in airtight container
Ingredients:
● 18 pretzel rods

Directions:
Step 1:
- Line a cookie sheet or tray with a piece of parchment paper or wax paper.
Step 2:
- Add each of the orange and green candy colors to separate heat safe bowls.
Step 3:
- Heat each bowl for one minute, remove and stir. Heat for additional 30 second intervals, removing from heat, and stirring well between each heating session, until fully melted. (Or use a double boiler to melt them on the stove top).
Step 4:

Step 5:
- Set each of the dipped pretzels on the parchment lined baking sheet in a single layer, and immediately place 3 candy eyeballs on the candy coating. Repeat until you have coated all of the pretzels.
Step 6:
- Allow the monster pretzel rods to set for 1 hour so that the candy can harden. You may place in the refrigerator to speed the process.
Halloween Monster Pretzel Treats VARIATIONS:
Some variations to these dipped pretzel rods that you can make:
- Use different colors such as blue and purple by using different colorful candy melts.
- Instead of using candy eyes, use fun Halloween sprinkles after dipping in the melted candy coating.
- Dip the entire pretzel into white chocolate and drizzle melted white chocolate back and forth over pretzels to create Mummy pretzels!
- For a more sophisticated look, just go with white, orange and brown melted chocolate colors with simple fall colored sprinkles and skip the eyeballs! Perfect for Thanksgiving!
- After dipping the pretzels into the melted chocolate, sprinkle the chocolate with minced nuts, mini-chocolate chips, toasted coconut or crushed candy bars or Oreos or even Candy Corn!
- Use red and green candy melts and Christmas sprinkles or crushed candy canes for a Christmas variation!
- Use red candy melts and Valentines Day sprinkles for that holiday!
- If you have extra candy melts after this project, use them for dipping homemade rice crispy treats into, making a bark treat or for dipping strawberries into! See my Patriotic White Chocolate Dipped Strawberries with Sprinkles Recipe or my Easter Oreo M&M Bark Recipe for some fun ideas!
