These ghost pretzels are a fun and easy Halloween treat! Salty pretzels are coated in white chocolate, then decorated with candy eyeballs and edible pen to create adorable ghostly faces. Perfect for parties or festive snacks!

  • Total Time: 15 mins + cooling
  • Yield: 24 twists and 24 rods

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 bag white Candy Wafers
  • 2-3 teaspoons vegetable shortening (Crisco)
  • ~20 pretzel rods
  • ~24 pretzel mini twists
  • candy eyeballs
  • edible marker, black

Instructions

  1. Prepare 1 or 2 large baking sheets covered in wax paper or parchment paper. I prefer wax.
  2. Melt half of candy wafers according to instructions or, if using white chocolate chips, melt them in a microwave safe bowl in the microwave in 25-second bursts. Use a microwave-safe bowl.
  3. Add vegetable shortening 1/2 teaspoon a time until candy is loose and easily drips from a spoon.
  4. Next, use a fork to fully submerge pretzel twists, one at a time, in the chocolate, flipping to fully coat. Move each pretzel to the prepared sheet and while the candy is still wet, add candy eyeballs.
  5. Scrape remaining white chocolate into a tall glass and add more candy wafers until it is about half full. Melt using the same steps above, then add vegetable shortening 1/2 teaspoon at a time until candy easily drips from a spoon.
  6. Working quickly, tilt glass and dip pretzel rods one at a time, making sure the candy coats about 2/3 of the rod, and then lay them out on the prepared baking sheet, not touching.
  7. When candy on the rods is totally set and hard, use edible markers to draw faces.

Notes

You can use white chocolate chips instead of candy wafers.
