Ingredients

  • 100 grams white chocolate drops
  • 80 grams pretzel sticks
  • 50 grams milk chocolate drops
  • raisins

Instructions

Spider web

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

Flies (optional)

  • Pop a few raisins onto each of the spider webs, these will look like dead flies.
  • 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.

Spider (optional)

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

Notes

  • 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
