💖 Serving Suggestions
These are my favorite treats to serve alongside mummy pretzels:
- Witch's Potion Punch: A bubbling green punch made from lime sherbet, lemon-lime soda, and pineapple juice adds a festive and refreshing touch to your spread.
- Mummy Hot Dogs: Wrap hot dogs in crescent roll dough, bake, and add mustard or ketchup eyes for a savory treat that complements the sweet pretzels.
- Spider Deviled Eggs: Prepare deviled eggs and use olives to create spider shapes on top, adding a creepy yet delicious element to your menu.
