Halloween Pretzels (3 Spooky Designs)
These Halloween Pretzel Treats are the perfect spooky snack! Create pumpkins, mummies, or monsters with just 3 ingredients each!
Halloween Pretzel Treats
Fall is my favorite time of year!
Not only does it bring relief from the hot Texas summer, but Fall also brings fun food, boot season, football, and Halloween!
I absolutely love fall themed foods and the kids and I love to make chocolate dipped treats, like these Spiderweb Cookies we made together a couple years ago. Those were a big hit, so I’m always brainstorming other easy fall and Halloween recipes we can make together.
These chocolate covered Halloween pretzels are a great treat to make with the kids! I handle the melting, they handle the decorating.
All you need are three ingredients each to make these cute designs: pumpkin pretzels, mummy pretzels, and monster pretzels.
They are the perfect movie night snack or fun last-minute Halloween treats to enjoy during the fall months. These can be created in just a few minutes and are the perfect combination of sweet and salty! Plus they look adorable on a party platter!

Kitchen Tools Used
Instructions
Below are the directions to make each of the 3 designs: pumpkin pretzels, monster pretzels, and mummy pretzels.
First, Prep Your Ingredients:
- Cover a cutting board or cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. We love silicone baking mats because they’re washable and reusable – and nothing sticks to them at all!
- Place the each color of candy melts in a separate microwave safe bowl. Heat one bowl at a time for 20 seconds and stir. Continue microwaving in 20 second intervals, stirring between, until melted and smooth.
How to Make Pumpkin Pretzels:
- Dip each pretzel twist in melted orange chocolate or orange candy melts. You can use a fork for this, a candy dipping tool (like shown in the photos) or even chopsticks.
- When fully coated, place pretzels on the baking sheet. While the chocolate coating is still wet, press the green chocolate chip onto the top of the pretzel. As the chocolate dries, it will hold the “pumpkin stem” in place.
How to Make Mummy Pretzels:
- Dip each pretzel into melted white chocolate and turn until fully coated.
- Place on lined baking sheet and drizzle more melted white chocolate on top. Press two candy eyeballs into the damp chocolate coating.
How to Make Halloween Monster Pretzels:
- Coat each pretzel in melted lime green candy melts. You could also use other fun colors like purple or hot pink!
- Place the candy coated pretzels on a lined baking sheet to dry. While the coating is still wet, press a candy eyeball on top of each one.

Prep Tips
- Drying Time – Allow the pretzels to dry completely before serving or storing. This can take 30 minutes to and hour, but you can also speed up the process by placing the baking sheet in the freezer for 10-15 minutes.
- Storage – You don’t need to refrigerate your chocolate covered pretzels. The cold temperatures in the fridge can actually cause condensation that may negatively affect the candy coating. Simply store your candy coated pretzels in an airtight container at room temperature. Be sure to keep it away from any heat or light sources, to prevent melting. They should stay good for a week or two at least since the pretzels are fully covered in chocolate.

I’ve never seen green chocolate chips. Are they a seasonal thing?
You can find them on Amazon (I linked in the supply list) or you can use green melting candy, which is sold in craft stores. Hope this helps!
