Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups mini pretzels
- 1 ½ cups semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
- 40–50 candy eyes
- 1 tablespoon butter or coconut oil
- Optional toppings: sprinkles, crushed nuts, or colored sugar
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate chips and butter or coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth (about 2-3 minutes).
- Spread mini pretzels on a clean surface or large bowl for easy dipping.
- Dip each pretzel halfway or fully into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off, then place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Before the chocolate sets, place 1 or 2 candy eyes on each pretzel bite using tweezers or fingers.
- Optionally sprinkle colored sugar or crushed nuts on top for extra texture and color.
- Let the pretzel bites set at room temperature for about 30 minutes or refrigerate for 10-15 minutes until firm.
- Serve and enjoy. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Notes
If chocolate thickens during dipping, reheat gently for 10-15 seconds. Place candy eyes quickly before chocolate sets. Store in a cool, dry place or refrigerate if warm. Bring refrigerated bites to room temperature before serving for best flavor.
