These spooky Halloween pretzels are easy to make by dipping pretzel rods in melted white chocolate or green candy melts. For witch fingers, add knuckle marks, black-tinted almond nails, and red gel “blood” drips. Decorate with sprinkles and candy eyes for extra creepy fun.

Directions

Warm white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl using 30-second bursts, stirring well after each, until completely smooth. If the mixture is too thick for dipping or drizzling, stir in vegetable oil 1 teaspoon at a time to reach the right consistency.

Melt green candy melts following the instructions on the package.

Dip pretzel rods into your chosen melted coating (white chocolate or green candy melts), then decorate them however you like. To create witch's finger pretzels, use a knife to press knuckle lines into the coating. Tint sliced almonds with black food coloring and attach one to the tip of each pretzel with a small dab of melted coating. Drip red gel food coloring around the almond “nail” to resemble blood.
