Ghost Pretzels
This recipe can make up to 30 ghost pretzels. Talk about a great party treat or addition to a family movie night!
Ingredients
All you need for this recipe are 30 Mini Pretzels, 8 oz white candy melts, and 1 package of Candy eyeballs.
Directions:
Start by lining a baking sheet or tray with parchment paper.
Pour candy into a microwave-safe bowl and heat for one-minute increments. You will want to stir between each session to avoid clumping. Repeat this until it is fully melted. (If you don't have a microwave, you can use a double boiler to melt it.)
Dip the pretzels into the candy. You will want to do this one pretzel at a time. Make sure to fully coat the pretzel and shake of excess candy melt. It is also important to make sure the bottom opening isn't coated in candy as that will be the mouth of your ghost.
Place the coated pretzel on the parchment-lined tray.
While the melted candy has not hardened, add the candy eyes to your ghost.
Allow the candy to harden completely and serve. You can add some variety to it by using fun display items to lay your ghosts out.
