How to make Halloween Pretzel Sticks dipped in chocolate and sprinkles. These chocolate covered treats are perfect for Halloween parties!
Hi folks.
Er...
yah...
so maybe not ALL the hubbies.
But most!
Okay, okay, sorry for the hubby humour. What can I say, it's been a long day.
Now this is almost too easy. Your kids would love this. It gets done in a snap and they taste wicked good. Nothing like sweet with salty. It's a match made in heaven if you ask me.
I feel like this shouldn't even be called a recipe. But I'll post instructions for you all just in case. It's super simple and honestly your kids, hubby and quite likely your cat could do this. So hit the craft store to pick up pretzel sticks, candy melts and sprinkles and have at it.
What's really cool about these is you can mix it up and personalize them. Mini-me has a friend whose mom makes them for Christmas every year. They are versatile and you can theme them depending on the holiday or occasion. They look cute and taste amazing. What else can you ask for. Except for hubs to do the dishes. Now there's a dream come true.

Halloween Pretzel Sticks
Ingredients
- 1 large bag pretzel sticks
- 1 bag candy melts depending on how many colours you want to make
- Sprinkles
Instructions
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment or set out some low ball glasses.
- Melt about half a bag of candy melts in a glass bowl. You should check and stir them every 30 seconds. They will go hard if you over-cook them. Mine took about 1.5 minutes. Every microwave is different though.
- Stir the candy melts well until smooth.
- Dunk your pretzel in the candy melts and swirl it around gently.
- Let the extra drip off.
- Sprinkle your, er, sprinkles over top.
- Either place them candy side up in the glass or lay down on the parchment to set.
- Repeat with more of the same colour or use a different one to mix things up.(one full bag of candy melts should cover one bag of pretzel sticks)
- Serve with a big old sweet and salty smile!
For the record this short post makes up for yesterday's rather long and heartfelt post. If you haven't stopped by that one yet you totally should. I'm giving away fudge and made adorable Monster Fudge with funky googly eyes. There is also some links I wanted to share with you that are near and dear to my heart. So please head over there to read the post. I sincerely hope it will change your world a little bit and make you feel grateful for the blessings you have in your life.

Hahahaaa I love this! So easy even a husband can do it 😛
Kim Bee
I was having a moment. It couldn't be helped.

Gosh, finally a recipe that's easy enough for me! 😉 Nice recipe - and as you say you can change it up to be seasonally-appropriate.
Kim Bee
Lol, see I had a plan in mind when I made these. You would rock these. Mrs Riff would love you big time if you made her cute little pink ones with hearts on them. Just sayin'.
Vijitha
That's such a cute idea again. Booo! Happy Halloween
Kim Bee
Thank you so much. Happy Halloween!
Alice @ Hip Foodie Mom
Love these!!! And I love how you say these are so easy your hubby can make them! 🙂 LOL, love it!
Kim Bee
It's totally true. Not that mine would. But he could. If he was so inclined. Lol!

I made these for a Halloween party but used the softer sprinkles instead--this kind hurt my teeth!
Kim Bee
Lol, that's not good. I have super strong teeth so I did fine with them. I'm 43 and never had a cavity. Super proud of that fact. Lol!
Susan
Eh, I don't know about my husband. Maybe. . maybe...
Kim Bee
Lol Susan, that cracked me up. My hubs makes like 3 things. Kraft mac n cheese, pancakes and grilled cheese. So this might be a stretch for him as well.

These are so cute! I was just thinking about making some of them and even bought the pretzels. But I've eaten most of the pretzels already. Love the fall colored candy sprinkles that you used too.

Anna @ hiddenponies
You get those jumbo pretzel sticks at the craft store? I've always wondered! Can't wait to make these for, like, every holiday, ever! And yes to group Pinterest boards, I adore dawdling over there 🙂
