Witches Fingers Halloween Pretzel Snack

Have I got a Halloween snack for you! They’re green, they’re covered in green sprinkle “warts”, and kids are going to love them! They’re our Witches Fingers Halloween Pretzel Snack!

When it comes to holiday snack ideas, pretzels are the way to go. They can be decorated and crafted up in so many different ways. It’s really hard to do wrong. Just like our Witches Fingers Halloween Pretzel Snack. It may sound a bit gross, but they’re so good. And so easy, too.

Start with pretzel rods. Then, open and melt a bag of green candy melts. Pour melted candy melts into a tall glass that you can dip about half of the pretzel rod in. And begin dipping. Let the excess drip off into the cup and then place the pretzel rod onto a cookie sheet lined with wax paper. While the candy melts are still wet, place one sliced almond onto the top of each pretzel rod.

Also while the candy melts are still slightly wet, take a toothpick and draw lines onto the witches fingers to create knuckles. Add green sprinkles, as well, to create warts if desired. Then once the candy melts have dried, paint black food dye onto the sliced almonds. Allow food dye to dry before serving.

Kids would have a blast making their own Witches Fingers Halloween Pretzel Snack, too. It’s a great Halloween snack idea to get kids in the kitchen. Because come on now, there’s everything here for kids to love! So much fun!

Ingredients

• Pretzel Rods
• Sliced Almonds
• Black Food Dye
• Green Candy Melts
• Green Sprinkles

Instructions

1. Open the bag of Green Candy Melts and melt over a low-medium heat on the stove. Pour melted candy melts into a tall glass.
2. Open the bag of pretzel rods and dip each pretzel rod into the melted green candy melts. Let the excess drip off into the cup and then place the pretzel rod onto a cookie sheet lined with wax paper. Allow the pretzels a minute or two to dry and then move the pretzels to a second cookie sheet lined with wax paper. This insures that your pretzel won't dry in a puddle of candy melts.
3. While the candy melts are still wet, place one sliced almond onto the top of each pretzel rod. Push the sliced almond into the candy melts a bit to create a cuticle.
4. While the candy melts are still slightly wet, take a toothpick and draw lines onto the witches fingers to create knuckles. Add green sprinkles while the candy melts are still wet to create warts if desired.
5. Once the candy melts have dried, paint black food dye onto the sliced almonds. Allow food dye to dry before serving.
