I made these treats for our Halloween party last year, and waited to blog now, so there’s plenty of time for you to make them in case you are hosting a party, or just feel like sharing something with friends on Halloween week. Very easy and fun. First, Screamingly Cute Chocolate-Covered Pretzels.
They were fun to make, even if slightly messy. But that could very well be operator-error. I am not that skilled when it comes to melted chocolate. You will need a bag of pretzels, melting chocolate (the best kind is this one, according to many sources), and eyeball candy. Sounds scary, right? Well, it’s for Halloween, it must be scary!
Second, even simpler to put together: Witch Brooms. Peanut Butter Cups with a strategically placed Pretzel stick. The flavors all work well together too. Hardest part of making them, is unwrapping the peanut butter cups. Be Zen. And enjoy the moment.
If you make the Screaming Pretzels, handle the eye-ball candy with impeccably clean hands. Any chocolate that gets to the white candy will be hard to clean once you place them on the pretzel. Tweezers help. It will be easier to glue them while the chocolate is not fully set, but then it’s best not to try to re-adjust their position. Work slowly and you’ll get the hang of it. I am sure it will surprise you that I had never had the combo of pretzel with chocolate. It works! It is really a delicious combination, a little crunch, a little salt, a lot of chocolate.
A call from the past… one of our favorite Halloween costumes, back in 2002. John and Olivia…

I once did a Lady Godiva costume – of course, I kept my clothes on, but wore a type of body suit that was beige and this looooong blond wig that came almost all the way to my knees. Unfortunately we took no pictures that year, it was pretty funny. That year Phil was Janet Reno (American politician, in case you don’t know her), and I tell you he was PERFECT. A blue dress, pearls, make up and a wig.

The screaming pretzels are adorable, Sally. I don’t usually like stuff like that, but they are so cute.

Best thing is that they were pretty tasty – I did not have the brooms, since I don’t care for peanut butter in sweet stuff, but the pretzels were surprisingly delicious

We are not doing anything this year, honestly we need a little break and the idea of hosting a big party is not too appealing right now. I do have a costume, but maybe we can find a party to attend… 😉

Love ’em both, Sally, but the screaming pretzels gave me a chuckle. Bet they disappeared at the party. After all, pretzels are the healthy snack, right? 🙂
