Ingredients:

For the Halloween Ghost Pretzel Rods:

• 1 package (about 20) pretzel rods
• 1 cup white chocolate chips or candy melts
• Mini chocolate chips or dark chocolate chips (for eyes)
• Orange and black decorating icing or gel

Equipment:

• Parchment paper
• Microwave-safe bowl
• Small piping bag or plastic sandwich bag

Instructions:

Melt the White Chocolate

1. Pour the white chocolate chips or candy melts into a microwave-safe bowl.
2. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.

Coat the Pretzel Rods

1. Dip each pretzel rod into the melted white chocolate, ensuring an even coating.
2. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off, and place the coated pretzel rod on parchment paper.

Create the Ghostly Shape

1. While the white chocolate is still wet, use a spoon or spatula to shape the chocolate into a ghostly figure. The bottom of the pretzel rod will be the ghost’s body, and the top will be the head.
2. Work quickly before the chocolate sets to achieve the desired ghost shape.

Add Eyes

1. Place two mini chocolate chips or dark chocolate chips near the top of each pretzel rod to create the ghost’s eyes.
2. Press them gently into the white chocolate to ensure they stick.

Let It Set

1. Allow the Halloween Ghost Pretzel Rods to set completely. You can place them in the refrigerator for faster setting.

Decorate with Icing

1. Once the white chocolate is fully set, use orange and black decorating icing or gel to add spooky faces, mouths, or any additional details to your ghosts.
2. Get creative with different expressions for a variety of ghostly personalities.

Serve and Spook!

1. Arrange your finished Halloween Ghost Pretzel Rods on a festive serving platter.
2. Serve them at your Halloween party or enjoy them as a fun and tasty snack.

Tips for Success:

1. Work quickly while the white chocolate is still wet to shape the ghosts.
2. Use parchment paper to prevent the pretzel rods from sticking.
3. Get creative with the expressions and faces to give each ghost its own personality.
