Ingredients
Scale
For Dipping and Decorating:
- 12 oz. Orange Candy Melts Candy
- 12 oz. Black Candy Melts Candy
- 6 oz. EZ Thin Dipping Aid for Candy Melts Candy
- 12 oz. Dark Green Candy Melts Candy
- 12 oz. Bright White Candy Melts Candy
- 12 oz. Red Candy Melts Candy
- 12 oz. Lavender Candy Melts Candy (optional for additional colors)
- Halloween Sprinkles Mega Set, 16.4 oz. or Orange and Black Halloween Sprinkles Assortment, 7 oz.
Base:
- Pretzel Rods (enough for 12 to 15 treats)
Instructions
- Melt Candy Melts: Set aside 12 to 15 assorted Candy Melts wafers for creating faces later. Melt orange and black Candy Melts separately in dipping containers, and add EZ Thin Dipping Aid to thin the melts for easier dipping.
- Dip Pretzel Rods: Dip pretzel rods individually into the melted orange and black candy melts. Immediately sprinkle with assorted Halloween sprinkles to adhere while the coating is still wet. Place dipped pretzels on a cake board lined with wax paper and chill in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to set.
- Prepare Face Details: Melt small amounts of dark green, white, black, and red Candy Melts. Transfer each melted color into separate parchment bags, cutting a small tip to use for piping. Place the reserved Candy Melts wafers on parchment paper on a cake board.
- Pipe Faces: Using the parchment bags, pipe detailed facial features and expressions onto the reserved Candy Melts wafers. Chill in the refrigerator for about 5 minutes or until set.
- Assemble Treats: Pipe a small amount of melted candy on the back of each decorated wafer and attach it to the top of each dipped pretzel rod. Chill again in the refrigerator for 5 minutes or until the wafers are securely attached.
Notes
- Use wax or parchment paper to prevent sticking while chilling dipped pretzels and decorated wafers.
- EZ Thin Dipping Aid helps achieve a smooth and thin coating, making dipping easier and results neater.
- Chill thoroughly at each stage to ensure candy melts set properly and decorations hold.
- Customize faces with different colors for fun Halloween expressions using the variety of Candy Melts available.
- Store finished treats in a cool, dry place to maintain crispness and avoid melting.
