Description

These Witch Finger Pretzel Rods are a spooky and delicious Halloween treat, perfect for parties or festive snacking. Pretzel rods dipped in green-tinted white chocolate, topped with almond ‘fingernails’, and detailed with red and black icing create a creepy yet tasty finger-like appearance that’s sure to impress.

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 bag of large pretzel rods
  • 1 cup white chocolate or candy melts
  • A few drops of green food coloring
  • Whole almonds
  • Red gel icing
  • Optional: Black gel icing for detailing

Instructions

  1. Prepare baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure easy cleanup and to prevent sticking when the chocolate sets.
  2. Melt chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate or candy melts by heating in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly after each until smooth and fully melted.
  3. Add green color: Mix a few drops of green food coloring into the melted white chocolate until you reach your desired green shade.
  4. Dip pretzels: Dip each pretzel rod into the green chocolate, covering approximately two-thirds of the rod. Let excess chocolate drip back into the bowl before placing the pretzel on the lined baking sheet.
  5. Add almond fingernails: Before the chocolate hardens, press a whole almond onto the tip of each dipped pretzel to mimic a fingernail.
  6. Set chocolate: Allow the chocolate coating to completely set. For faster setting, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator.
  7. Decorate knuckle lines: Using red gel icing, draw lines just below the almond to resemble knuckles or finger joints for a realistic finger look.
  8. Add optional details: If desired, use black gel icing to create additional knuckle lines or accents for extra spooky detail.
  9. Dry completely: Let the icing dry fully before serving or displaying your Witch Finger Pretzel Rods to avoid smudging.

Notes

  • You can substitute white chocolate with candy melts for easier melting and coating.
  • If green food coloring isn’t available, you can mix blue and yellow to create green tones.
  • Refrigerating the dipped pretzels helps the chocolate set faster and prevents smudging when decorating.
  • These treats can be made a day ahead and stored in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
  • Use gel icing to create precise and vibrant details that stay intact once dried.
