    Showing the Halloween pretzels shaped into witch fingers pretzels with just 3 ingredients. Using candy melts to coat the pretzel rods is a game-changer to shape the fingers.

    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.

    More Halloween treats

    We are excited to share even more fun, creative, and tasty Halloween treats like Halloween cinnamon rolls made to look like intestines. The mummy dogs will have everyone laugh at how the googly eyes seem to stare right at you.

    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.
