These Pretzel Frankenstein Fingers are a fun Halloween treat made by coating pretzel rods in green candy melts and adding pistachio slices for fingernails. Optionally, use a toothpick to draw knuckle lines for extra detail.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Melt the green candy melts using either a double boiler on the stove or microwaving half the melts at a time in 30-second bursts, stirring between each interval.
  2. Dip each pretzel rod into the melted candy, then place it on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
  3. Press a sliced pistachio onto the end of each pretzel rod to create a fingernail.
  4. For extra detail, use a toothpick to draw a few lines on two separate spots along the pretzel rod to form knuckles.
