Tips for Making the Best Halloween Chocolate Covered Pretzels
Use parchment paper. It makes it easy to remove the chocolate-covered pretzels once the chocolate has hardened.
Don’t worry about perfect shapes. The chocolate filling the holes gives the pretzels a more solid shape, but they don’t need to look identical.
Work while the chocolate is soft. Add the candy eyes and pumpkin stems before the chocolate sets so they stick.
Let the chocolate fully harden. If the chocolate is still soft, the mummy bandages can smear and the decorations may move. Place pretzels in the refrigerator to speed up the setting time.
Use a piping bag or small zip-top bag. This makes it much easier to drizzle the mummy bandages and pipe the pumpkin ridges.
