Description
Halloween Chocolate Pretzel Spider Webs are glossy, crunchy, no bake treats made with pretzel sticks, melted chocolate, and a spooky white chocolate drizzle perfect for classroom parties, movie nights, and last minute Halloween spreads.
Ingredients
Scale
- 16 oz (455 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips or melting wafers
- 8 oz (225 g) white chocolate (for drizzle)
- 10 oz (285 g) mini pretzel sticks
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
- 1–2 tsp neutral oil (only if needed to thin chocolate)
- Candy eyes and Halloween sprinkles (optional)
- Pinch of fine sea salt (optional)
Instructions
- Line 2 baking sheets with parchment. For each web, arrange 6–8 pretzel sticks like spokes with tips touching in the center.
- Microwave semi sweet chocolate in short 20–30 second bursts at 50% power, stirring between bursts until smooth. Stir in vanilla; add a little neutral oil only if thick.
- Spoon about 1 tablespoon melted chocolate into the center of each pretzel star and nudge so it spreads and connects the spokes; tap tray to level.
- Melt white chocolate until smooth. Transfer to a piping or zip-top bag; snip a tiny tip. Pipe a spiral from center outward, then add short connecting lines to mimic a web.
- Decorate with candy eyes and sprinkles while wet; finish with a tiny pinch of sea salt if desired. Chill 10–15 minutes to set, then peel off parchment and serve.
Notes
- Use melting wafers or finely chopped bar chocolate for the shiniest finish.
- Color the drizzle with oil-based candy coloring for orange, purple, or black accents.
- Make-ahead: store layers between parchment in an airtight container up to 4 days. For sharp lines, add the white drizzle the day you serve.
- Allergy swaps: gluten-free pretzel sticks, dairy-free chocolate, and dye-free sprinkles all work well.
