Chocolate Spiderweb Pretzels: The Easiest Halloween Treat You’ll Ever Make
Makes about 20 spiderweb pretzels.
- Prep Time: 10min
- Cook Time: 10min
- Total Time: 20min
Ingredients
- 20 pretzel twists or pretzel rods (whichever shape you prefer)
- 200 g (about 1 cup) semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips, melted
- 60 g (about ⅓ cup) white chocolate chips, melted
- 1 tsp coconut oil or vegetable oil (optional, for smoother drizzling)
- Halloween-themed sprinkles or edible eyes (optional, for decoration)
-
Ingredient substitutions:
- Use milk chocolate instead of dark for a sweeter flavor.
- Swap white chocolate for orange candy melts for a more festive look.
- Gluten-free pretzels work perfectly if you need a GF version.
Instructions
Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in 20-second bursts in the microwave, stirring between each burst, until smooth. Repeat the same process for the white chocolate in a separate bowl. Add a small amount of coconut oil to each if you want a glossier, more pourable consistency.
Dip each pretzel into the melted dark chocolate, making sure it’s fully coated. Let any excess chocolate drip off, then place the pretzel on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
While the chocolate is still wet, spoon the melted white chocolate into a piping bag or ziplock bag with a small corner snipped off. Drizzle 3–4 thin concentric circles of white chocolate on top of the dark chocolate coating.
Then, using a toothpick, drag lines from the center of the circles outward toward the edges, alternating direction each time. This creates the classic spiderweb effect.
Place the tray in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes, or leave at room temperature for about 30 minutes, until the chocolate is fully hardened.
Once set, add optional sprinkles, edible eyes, or a light dusting of edible glitter for extra Halloween flair. Serve immediately or store for later.
