These spooky pretzel witch fingers are simple to make with just three ingredients. The green candy coating and almond fingernails create a realistic, creepy effect. Perfect for Halloween parties or ghoulish snacks.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Warm the Wilton Candy Melts in a microwave-safe glass bowl following the package directions, heating gently to avoid scorching.
  2. Alternatively, if you lack pre-colored melts, tint white Candy Melts with a few drops of Wilton Leaf Green icing color. To save money, use a coupon from Michaels, JoAnn's or Hobby Lobby.
  3. Set up workstations for each ingredient: place whole pretzel rods in one area and sliced almonds in another. Remove any broken pretzels and set them aside, and sort almond slices to keep only the whole ones.
  4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Once a pretzel rod is coated, set it on the parchment to harden.
  5. While the candy coating is still wet, use a toothpick to draw finger creases, cleaning the toothpick on a paper towel after each line. Finally, press a sliced almond onto the top for a fingernail.
  6. These pretzel witch fingers can be prepared several days in advance and stored in the freezer if desired.
  7. Save the broken pretzel pieces! After finishing the whole rods, use any remaining candy melts to create smaller treats for snacking.
