🧾 Ingredients (For Blog Post)

• Mini pretzel squares (waffle-style)
• White candy melts or white chocolate chips
• Mini candy eyeballs
• Optional: Dark chocolate or colored melts for contrast

🧁 Instructions (For Blog Post)

1. Prepare the Base: Lay mini pretzels out on a parchment-lined tray.

2. Melt the Coating: Melt white candy melts according to package directions until smooth.

3. Dip and Add Eyes: Spoon or pipe a dollop of melted white chocolate onto each pretzel and immediately press on two candy eyes.

4. Drizzle the Bandages: Using a piping bag or zip-top bag, drizzle more melted white chocolate across each pretzel to create mummy “bandages.”

5. Let Set: Allow the pretzels to cool and harden completely at room temp or in the fridge.

🪄 Serving Tips

• Plate them on a dark slate or spooky platter for maximum Halloween effect.
• Pack in mini cellophane bags tied with orange ribbon for trick-or-treaters.
• Add to a Halloween snack board with popcorn, candy corn, and monster cookies.

🎃 Variations

• Use dark chocolate to make “Zombie Pretzels.”
• Swap in colored candy melts for festive flair.
• Add a dab of peanut butter beneath the chocolate layer for extra richness.

😬 Troubleshooting

• Chocolate too thick? Add a teaspoon of coconut oil to thin it.
• Messy drizzle? Use a fine-tip squeeze bottle for precision.
• Eyes sliding off? Let the base set for 30 seconds before adding eyes.

🧊 Storage Info

• Store in an airtight container at room temp for up to 1 week.
