Ingredients
Pretzel Base
- 40 mini pretzel twists
Chocolate Web
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother melting)
Decorations
- 8 candy eyes
Instructions
- Prepare Pretzel Base: On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, arrange the mini pretzels in a circular pattern layered to resemble a spider web, alternating circles and lines as you go.
- Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and fully melted.
- Create Web Design: Using a piping bag or a small zip-top bag with the corner snipped off, carefully pipe the melted chocolate over the pretzels in concentric circles and then add lines radiating outwards to mimic a spider web.
- Add Eyes: Before the chocolate sets, place candy eyes strategically on the web to resemble spiders sitting on the web.
- Set the Webs: Let the chocolate cool and harden at room temperature or place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes until firm.
- Serve: Once the chocolate is completely set, gently remove the webs from the parchment paper and serve your festive Halloween treats.
Notes
- You can substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips with white or dark chocolate for different looks.
- If you don’t have coconut oil, you can melt the chocolate without it but stirring thoroughly is important.
- Work quickly when piping the chocolate as it can harden fast.
- Store the webs in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- For an added spooky effect, consider placing gummy spiders alongside or on the webs.
