Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Chocolate candy melts (dark or milk chocolate)
- 32 sticks Mini pretzel sticks
- 16 pieces Round chocolate candies (e.g., Whoppers, malt balls, or mini peanut butter cups)
- 32 pieces Candy eyes
- 2 tablespoons Optional sprinkles (for decoration)
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Melt the chocolate candy melts in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring after each increment, until smooth and fully melted.
Take one round chocolate candy and dip the bottom into the melted chocolate to act as 'glue.' Place it on the prepared baking sheet.
Take 4 mini pretzel sticks and break them in half to create 8 shorter pretzel 'legs.' Dip the ends of each pretzel leg in melted chocolate and attach them to the sides of the chocolate candy to resemble spider legs. Repeat with all candies.
Use a small amount of melted chocolate to attach 2 candy eyes to the top of each chocolate candy body, pressing gently to secure them.
If desired, sprinkle a few Halloween-themed sprinkles onto the wet chocolate for added decoration.
Allow the spiders to set at room temperature or place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes until the chocolate hardens.
Once hardened, carefully remove the spider pretzels from the baking sheet and serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
