Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 24 pretzel sticks
- 12 mini marshmallows
- 24 candy eyes
- 1 sheet parchment paper
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with a sheet of parchment paper.
Melt the semisweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second increments, stirring after each interval, until fully melted and smooth.
Dip the ends of two pretzel sticks into the melted chocolate and lay them on the parchment paper in a crisscross pattern to create 'legs' for the creepy crawler.
Attach a mini marshmallow on top of the center where the pretzels intersect by dipping the marshmallow slightly in the melted chocolate to act as glue.
Spoon a dollop of chocolate over the marshmallow to create the 'body' of the creepy crawler and ensure it sticks to the pretzel legs.
Before the chocolate sets, press two candy eyes onto the front of the marshmallow to create the 'face' of the creepy crawler.
Repeat these steps to make 12 creepy crawlers.
Place the baking sheet in the fridge for about 15-20 minutes or until the chocolate is fully set and hardened.
Carefully remove the creepy crawlers from the parchment paper and serve them on a platter, or store them in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to serve.
