Description
These Frankenstein Pretzel monster-themed Halloween treats are such a fun and clever treat to make for the family or a party. They didn’t last long in our house and they are spooky cute!
Ingredients
- bag of pretzel squares (snaps)
- bag of pretzel sticks
- candy melts (green and brown)
- candy eyes
Instructions
- Melt approximately 1 cup of green candy melts in a small bowl in the microwave at 50% power for 1 minute or at full power for 30-45 seconds. Stir and then continue microwaving at 50% power for 30 seconds or for 15 seconds at full power at a time until completely melted. (You can check the packaging instructions as well.)
- Optional: Add approximately 1/2 teaspoon to 2 teaspoons cooking oil for a smoother finish. (The more you add, the smoother the finish and the longer the candy melts take to harden on the pretzels, so add slowly!) Stir to combine.
- Dip on pretzel square into the melted candy melts bowl and use a fork to ensure it is completely coated. Then place it on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
- Snap a pretzel stick into 4 equal pieces. Use two of the pieces to create “bolts” on the sides of Frankenstein’s head and press them into the sides of the coating pretzel square.
- Place two small candy eyes on the pretzel square.
- Repeat this until you have made your desired amount.
- For the hair and mouth, melt approximately 1/4 cup of brown candy melts in a small bowl in the microwave at 50% power for 1 minute or at full power for 30-45 seconds. Stir and then continue microwaving at 50% power for 30 seconds or for 15 seconds at full power at a time until completely melted. (You can check the packaging instructions as well.)
- Once completely melted, pour into a piping bag or sandwich bag and cut the tip. Pipe on the hair and the mouth of Frankenstein using zig-zag method.
- Allow the decorated Frankenstein pretzels to cool at room temperature until firm.
