Halloween Witch Finger Pretzel Rods
- Prep Time: 20 minutes
- Total Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 pretzel rods
- 1 cup green candy melts (or green chocolate chips)
- 12 whole almonds
- Red candy melts (for “blood” effect)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (optional, for thinning candy melts)
- Sprinkles or edible glitter (optional, for extra decoration)
Instructions
- Prepare the Pretzels:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Melt the Green Candy:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the green candy melts according to package instructions. Stir until smooth. If the candy is too thick, add a tablespoon of vegetable oil to thin it out.
- Coat the Pretzels:
- Dip each pretzel rod into the melted green candy, covering about 3/4 of the pretzel to resemble a witch’s finger. Gently shake off any excess candy.
- Place the coated pretzels on the prepared baking sheet.
- Add the Almond “Nail”:
- While the candy coating is still wet, press a whole almond onto the tip of each pretzel rod to create the appearance of a fingernail.
- If desired, sprinkle with edible glitter or sprinkles for extra decoration.
- Add the “Blood” Effect:
- Melt the red candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl. Drizzle a small amount of the red candy over the base of each almond to create a “blood” effect. You can also use a piping bag or a plastic bag with a small corner cut off to drizzle the red candy.
- Cool and Set:
- Allow the pretzels to set at room temperature or place them in the refrigerator for a few minutes to speed up the hardening process.
- Serve:
- Once the candy coating is set, the witch finger pretzels are ready to serve. Enjoy the spooky treats!
