Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Spooky Halloween Pretzels
  1. Melt the Chocolate: Place the milk or semi-sweet chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
  2. Dip the Pretzels: Dip each large pretzel twist into the melted chocolate until fully coated. Allow excess chocolate to drip back before placing it on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  3. Add the Oreo Eyes: While the chocolate is still wet, split Oreos in half and press each half onto each pretzel for eyes; add candy eyes on top.
  4. Create Spooky Features: Add more melted chocolate above the Oreo eyes for eyebrows, use black licorice for details, and insert Fall M&M's as noses.
  5. Set in the Freezer: Place decorated pretzels in the freezer for about 10 minutes to allow chocolate to set.
  6. Melt the White Chocolate: Repeat melting process with white chocolate as done with milk chocolate.
  7. Dip and Decorate: Dip remaining pretzel rods or twists into melted white chocolate, add decorations, and freeze again.
  8. Serve or Store: Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature.
