Your youngsters love to eat Halloween candy, but think how much fun you may have making Halloween treats together! Chocolate covered pretzel sticks are fun and simple to make, and everybody loves the sweet and salty mixing of this delicious treat. Whether or not you are having a party of your own, or need to send your tiny ones to college or a friend’s house with them, these goodies are sure to be a massive hit.

Making these Halloween treats can be as easy or as involved as you like. For the standard design, all that you need is a bowl, some wax paper, your favourite pretzel rods, chocolate for liquefying, and fun seasonal splatters like leaves, spooks, and bats. These ingredients can all be found at your local grocery, or you might visit your local workman chocolatier for some truly decadent dark chocolate.

First, melt your chocolate. There’s no need to get fancy here ; simply put your chocolate of choice in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in the microwave for half a minute. Take away the bowl and stir the chocolate. Repeat these 2 steps till the chocolate is smooth and creamy. Dip your pretzels in the chocolate. For cleaner eating, leave one end of the pretzel rod exposed by the chocolate. Before the chocolate hardens, throw on your favorite seasonal spatters. Place the sticks on wax paper for drying.

To add some additional flare to your candle sticks, perhaps you could even purchase some standard Halloween candy and incorporate them into your design. Chopped up Candy Corn is a savoury addition to an already delectable break. Use tiny tubes of cake-decorating icing to make characters on your chocolate-covered pretzel sticks. You might even play around with using differing types of chocolate to form different characters. White chocolate may be used for a spook, or dark chocolate for a black pussy. The possibilities are endless!

Let the fun begin early this Halloween! In addition to gathering costume pieces, carving pumpkins, and decorating your yard with scarecrows and spider webs, take a minute for some pre-Halloween sweetness. Your kids will adore making their own Halloween goodies and you will love having such cute sweets to serve!
