Equipment

  • double boiler
  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by melting the chocolate for your Chocolate-covered Halloween pretzels. In separate bowls, combine white, dark, and milk chocolate chips. Heat in the microwave at medium power in 30-second intervals, stirring after each until smooth, which should take about 1-2 minutes. Alternatively, you can melt them over a double boiler on low heat. Once melted, allow the chocolate to cool slightly until it thickens.
  2. Now it’s time to dip those giant pretzels into your luscious chocolate. Take a pretzel and hold it by one end, submerging about one-third into the melted chocolate of your choice. Use a spoon to help coat it completely, then gently shake off any excess. Place the coated pretzel onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat this process for each type of chocolate, ensuring your pretzels are beautifully swirled and coated.
  3. While the chocolate coating is still soft, it’s time to add some spooky flair! Carefully place edible eyes onto each pretzel—three eyes will give you an extra spooky appearance. Don’t worry if they shift a bit; the chocolate is still malleable. Feel free to get creative and use other colorful sprinkles or toppings as you wish.
  4. Once you’ve decorated all the pretzels, let them sit at room temperature for about 1-2 hours until the chocolate has completely set. You can speed up this process by placing them in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes if you’re in a hurry. After they’re firm to the touch, gently peel the pretzels off the parchment paper and store them in an airtight container.
