Spooky Pretzel Wands

Happy Halloween EVE! We have officially entered the season of comfort food, crunchy leaves, chilly mornings, and fireplaces. I brought these bad boys out to work and book club (reading is fun, stay learned) last week, and holy cow, never did I ever think that people would be so stoked about sugary, chocolatey coated pretzels. They were gone. 

It’s that salty + sweet, folks.

That said, tomorrow is Halloween, so if you’re that mom who totally forgot she was hosting fourteen of her 7 year old’s closest friends tomorrow night and needed a fun, quick, and cheap activity, I have you covered. If you’re having friends over and are *too old* to trick or treat, but still want in on some of that #sugarrush, I HAVE GOT YOU COVERED. If, you happened to just be jazzed about Halloween, and you and your roomie want to do something cute and crafty during the all day marathon of Hocus Pocus on Freeform tomorrow (not kidding), you are COVERED. BY ME. 

If you’re finding this post and it’s the middle of December or the night before your office party, you are so welcome to change the colors and sprinkles and unleash your inner Pollock. 

Let us begin.

Ingredients

• 1-2 bags of Wilton Candy Melts (I used purple and orange, but feel free to #getwild — these DO have dairy, but melted Enjoy Life chocolate chips work perfectly with the spooky sprinkles as a replacement)
• Pretzel rods
• Spooky sprinkles

---

Instructions

1. Melt the candy melts in a microwave safe bowl at 30 second increments until fully melted (Chocolate chips work exactly the same)
2. Grab a pretzel rod, and use a spoon to evenly spread the chocolate over 3/4 of the pretzel
3. Sprinkle on your decorations evenly around the stick, and set on parchment to dry.
4. Repeat! And then EAT! TRICK OR TREAT

Be safe out there kiddos. It’s a wild world.
