Reasons to Love these Pretzel Chocolate Spider Webs
- You bond and have fun with your child making them.
- You can use semi sweet chocolate and a good quality pretzel, and these will be healthier than any Halloween candy you buy.
Ingredients
- Semi-sweet chocolate
- Pretzels sticks
Step by Step Instructions
- In a baking tray or over the counter, set some parchment paper.
- Layout the pretzels as per picture instructions below, using about 8 sticks per web.
- Repeat for eight webs.
- Place the chocolate into microwavable bags or icing bags. If using chocolate bars, make sure to break into pieces.
- Microwave on low voltage in increments of 20 seconds massaging the chocolate between the intervals.
- When the chocolate is totally melted, make a small cut with scissors in the corner of the bag.
- Squeeze the chocolate out starting from the center in a circular motion. Sprinkle desiccated coconut if desired.
- Allow the chocolate to dry for about 1h at ambient temperature or place them in the fridge for a quicker process.
Tips
Make sure the chocolate web is not too thin otherwise it can break easily. I made these with my 2-year-old, so they don’t look perfectly shaped, but we had lots of fun making them!
Storage Instructions
Serve the pretzels the same day or place them in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Serving Suggestions and Substitutions
- You can serve these chocolate pretzel webs with fruit and a veggie for a healthier snack, or even as part of a snack platter for Halloween themed play dates or parties.
- You can also use white chocolate; however, I do prefer using 60% bittersweet for little ones. We have always used lower sugar options at home and my son even prefers that way!
