Chocolate spider web pretzels
This is a wonderful Halloween treat idea, chocolate pretzel spider webs. It’s crunchy, salty, sweet and full of chocolate
What you will need:
. semi-sweet chocolate chips & white chocolate chips
. pretzel sticks
. disposable pastry/icing bags {can use basic resealable plastic bags -sandwich size}
. parchment paper
Line the surface area with parchment papers. Take 8 pretzel sticks and group them together to form a circle with one end of each pretzel radiating out from the center. Repeat this several times. To make small spider webs, take 4 pretzel sticks and break them in half and form the circle with the 8 smaller pieces.
Place 1/2 cup of chocolate in a microwave safe bowl and melt it in the microwave for about 45-50 seconds then stir it. If not completely melted, put it back in the microwave for about 10-20 seconds then stir it again. Repeat this step until the chocolate is completely melted, but be careful not to burn it. Do not use the chocolate if that happens, throw it away and start all over again.
Put the chocolate in the pastry/icing bag and snip off the end where the chocolate will be squeezed out to make the chocolate spider web. If the opening is too small, just snip a little more off the end.
.
To begin forming a spider web, start from the center of one of the groups of pretzels that were previously arranged in a circle, squeeze the melted chocolate out slowly working in a spiral and stop when close to the edges of the pretzel sticks.
.
Leave the chocolate pretzel spider webs to dry for about 1 hour or less if placed in the refrigerator before it can be taken off the parchment paper.
