Description

These Halloween Pretzel Treats, also known as Candy Spiderwebs, are fun and festive snacks that combine salty pretzels with sweet white chocolate and colorful Halloween sprinkles. Perfect for parties or a fun activity with kids, these spiderweb designs are created by piping melted white chocolate to form web patterns on pretzel sticks, topped with sprinkles and cute chocolate spiders.

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • Wax paper
  • Pretzel sticks (about 8 per web)
  • 16 ounces vanilla/white chocolate candy coating
  • Halloween sprinkles (as needed)
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base: Use an approximately 8-inch diameter bowl to trace circles onto wax paper. Cut out the circles and place them on cookie sheets. Arrange 8 pretzel sticks on each circle so that they touch in the center and radiate outward like spokes.
  2. Melt Candy Coating: Melt the vanilla/white chocolate candy coating according to package directions, ensuring it does not overheat. Stir until smooth and transfer the melted coating to a gallon-sized heavy-duty/freezer plastic bag. Snip a 1/4-inch hole in the corner of the bag.
  3. Create the Spiderweb: Pipe a flat circle in the center where the pretzels meet. Starting at the center and working outward, pipe a spiraling line across the pretzels to create the spiderweb design, stopping before reaching the tips so pretzels stick out slightly. Pipe over the outermost ring multiple times to thicken it, giving sprinkles a place to stick.
  4. Add Sprinkles: Pour Halloween sprinkles into a bowl and carefully spoon them over the thickened outer ring of the spiderweb to decorate.
  5. Melt Chocolate for Spiders: Place chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second increments, stirring between each, until melted and smooth. Transfer melted chocolate to a small plastic baggie and snip a tiny hole in the corner.
  6. Decorate Spiders: In the center of each spiderweb, pipe the spider’s legs by drawing a thin plus sign (+) topped with an X, forming 8 small legs. Then pipe a small circle on top for the spider’s body. Add two tiny sprinkles on the body for eyes.
  7. Dry and Serve: Allow the spiderweb treats to dry for several hours until the chocolate is completely set. Carefully peel the spiderwebs off the wax paper if possible, or serve them directly on the wax paper circles.

Notes

  • Candy Spiderwebs are a perfect festive snack, combining sweet and salty flavors that kids and adults alike will enjoy.
  • These treats are great for Halloween parties, classroom events, or as a fun family activity.
  • Be careful not to overheat the candy coating to avoid a grainy texture.
  • If the spiderweb is difficult to remove from the wax paper, they can be served directly on the paper for easy cleanup.
  • Use sturdy pretzel sticks to prevent breaking during decoration.
