What do you need to make Monster Eye Halloween Pretzels?
- 18 pretzel rods
- 1 cup green candy melts
- 1 cup orange candy melts
- 54 candy eyeballs
How do you make Monster Eye Halloween Pretzels?
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Add each of the candy melt colors to separate microwave-safe bowls.
Do this separately for each candy melt color. Heat for 30 seconds at a time and then stir. Continue heating for 30 seconds at a time, removing from heat, and stirring well between each heating session, until fully melted.
Dip a pretzel rod into the melted candy, and use a spoon to help coat half of the pretzel.
Set on the parchment lined baking sheet, and immediately place 3 candy eyeballs on the candy coating. Repeat until you have coated all of the pretzels.
Pop in the freezer for 10-15 minutes or set on the counter for 1 hour so that the candy can harden.
Can you make these pretzels ahead of time?
Absolutely! Just store them in an air tight container, so they don’t get stale.
I would recommend making a couple days ahead of time.
