Fun, spooky, and delicious Halloween pretzels. This easy, kid-friendly recipe is always a hit at our Halloween party. Decorate the chocolate covered pretzels with sprinkles, candy corn, and candy eyes for a festive Halloween treat.
I love a simple Halloween dessert recipe. It really doesn’t get much easier than chocolate covered pretzel rods. The kids always pick chocolate pretzels and OREO Balls off the dessert table first.
The best part about this recipe is that it’s only 3 ingredients. To make them you will dip pretzel rods into melted chocolate and decorate with Halloween sprinkles. They’re great for Halloween parties and to enjoy during a movie night.
