Equipment
- Baking Sheet
- Parchment Paper
- Microwave Safe Bowl
Ingredients
- 8 ounces white chocolate melts
- 20 Pretzel rods
- Candy eyeballs
Instructions
- Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each until smooth. Using a taller container makes it easier to coat the pretzels, you can transfer it after melting.
- Dip each pretzel rod into the melted chocolate, gently shaking off any excess. Place the dipped pretzels on a parchment-lined baking sheet, then add the candy eyeballs while the chocolate is still soft.
- Transfer the remaining melted chocolate to a small plastic bag and snip a small hole in one corner to make a piping bag. Drizzle the chocolate back and forth over each pretzel rod to create the mummy “bandages.”
- Let the pretzels set completely at room temperature or transfer them to the refrigerator to speed up the process.
Notes
- Don't Overheat the Chocolate: Microwave in short intervals and stir well each time. Often the last few pieces will melt just from stirring.
- Add the Eyes Right Away: Press the candy eyes into the coating before it begins to set.
- Keep the Drizzle Messy: There's no need for perfect lines. Drizzling the chocolate in different directions makes the “bandages” look even better.
- Coat Evenly: Pouring the melted chocolate into a tall glass or mason jar makes it much easier to coat the pretzel rods evenly.
- Room Temperature: Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 1 week.
- Refrigerator: You can refrigerate them, but condensation can affect the chocolate coating and make the pretzels lose some of their crunch.
