Witch Fingers Pretzels
We had fun decorating Halloween pretzels this year. The witch fingers pretzels were the best because it is just 3 ingredients. Using candy melts to coat the pretzel rods is a game-changer. Why we used the candy melts to make the witch fingers pretzels:
- They come in a wide variety of colors to match your Halloween pretzel decoration idea.
- No requirement to temper, the candy melts leave a smooth surface when melted, and it quickly sets. This makes the whole process simpler.
- They keep the mess to a minimum, are easy to melt in the microwave or bain-marie, and everyone can use them no matter their experience in the kitchen.

Equipment
To make these Halloween pretzels you will need a few pieces of equipment. These will help make the whole process go as smoothly as possible. Here’s what you’ll need:
- Baking sheet: It is perfect to lay the coated Halloween pretzels on to set.
- Parchment paper: Line the baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Microwave safe bowl or a bain marie (double boiler): Either is ideal for melting the candy melts without burning them.
- Heat-proof spoon or spatula: It will make it easier to mix the melted candy and to help shape the witch fingers pretzels.
Storage
Storage: They will last at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. We place some in the freezer for a fun, cold treat.
Top Tip
Once the Halloween pretzels are coated, you can place them on a cooling rack to have more air circulating around them. Just place the parchment paper under the rack so if there are any drips, it will be easier to clean up.
