🔪 How To Make Chocolate Ghost Pretzels
- Step 1: Place about ½ cup of each color of chocolate into a microwavable bowl and melt according to package directions. Place each color of melted chocolate into a baggie and snip a corner, this becomes your piping bag.
- Step 2: Layout pretzels on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Take one baggie and fill the top two holes of the pretzels with chocolate. Place on two M&M’s to represent the eyes. Repeat this step with the remaining chocolate colors.
- Step 3: Let the decorated pretzels dry.
- Step 4: Now your Ghost Pretzels are ready to serve.
*If you do all the chocolate at once, you’ll have to work quickly so it doesn’t start to harden in the baggies.
If it would be easier for you, then just do one chocolate at a time so you don’t have to rush.
Your Ghost pretzels are now complete.
👩🍳 Expert Tips
- Use mini pretzel twists for the base; their shape is perfect for creating ghostly figures.
- Melt white chocolate or vanilla almond bark, and dip the pretzels halfway, allowing excess to drip off.
- Before the coating sets, press two mini M&M's into the top holes of each pretzel to form eyes.
💭 FAQs
Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
Yes, you can make them a day or two before your event. Keep them in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
Work quickly or melt one color at a time to prevent the chocolate from setting in the bags.
Mini M&M’s fit better within the pretzel holes, but regular-sized M&M’s can be used if preferred.
💖 Serving Suggestions
