How to make Halloween Pretzels

Below are illustrated step-by-step instructions to make my Spider Web Halloween Pretzels, if you prefer just the written instructions then head straight to the printable recipe card below.

Step one: Lay the pretzel sticks out in a star shape (8 sticks per spider web) on baking paper or a silicon mat.

Pretzel sticks lied out in star shapes on a lined baking tray.

Step two: Melt the white chocolate. I do this in the microwave. Microwave uncovered on medium (50%) for 1 minute, stir. Repeat this process until the chocolate has melted. Transfer the white chocolate to a piping bag.

Step three: Starting in the centre of each spider web pipe a good blob of white chocolate (this will help to hold the pretzel sticks together). Then gradually spiral the melted white chocolate out over the pretzel sticks to form spider webs.

Spiders (optional): Melt the milk chocolate. I do this in the microwave. Microwave uncovered on medium (50%) for 1 minute, stir. Repeat this process until the chocolate has melted

Transfer the milk chocolate to a piping bag.
In the centre of each web pipe, 4 fine wiggly lines of milk chocolate (these will be the spider legs) In the centre of the legs place a milk chocolate drop to form the body of the spider.

Step six: Leave the spider webs to harden (you can speed this process up by chilling them in the fridge for a little while.

Enjoy!

Top Tips

Here is how you can make these Pretzel Spider Webs for Halloween perfectly every time!

Hack for filling a piping bag: Sit your piping bag in a tall glass, fold the edges of the bag over the glass, this will keep the piping bag upright and open while you fill it.
You don't need a special piping tip when making these Halloween pretzels, just cut off a very small corner from the bottom of the piping bag.
Once the chocolate has hardened the spider web pretzels will last for up to 7 days in an air-tight container
