I love sweet and salty treats. Pretzels are such a great base for so many cute holiday treats like our pretzel trees or our chocolate peanut butter pretzels. We gave the classic combination of chocolate and salty pretzels a Halloween twist with these fun spiderweb pretzels! They are easy to make and fun to customize.
I added dollops of chocolate in the center of each one and added two eyes to make them look like little spiders sitting on the web! My kids thought these were fun to snack on and I think they’d make the perfect addition to any holiday party. The chocolate not only adds a fun touch, it also binds the entire web together.
My measurements are for making 12 spiderwebs. If you want to make more or less you can adjust the number of pretzels and ounces of chocolate used.
Chocolate Spiderweb Pretzels Ingredients
- mini pretzel sticks: you’ll need 8 pretzels for each spiderweb.
- chocolate almond bark: you can use melting wafers, chocolate chips, or almond bark.
- white almond bark: you can use melting wafers, chocolate chips, or almond bark.
- candy eyes
- Halloween sprinkles
How to make pretzel spiderwebs
Arrange pretzels on two parchment-lined baking sheets in groups of 8 with the ends meeting in the center in a star arrangement.
Melt chocolate and white chocolate in microwave-safe bowls. Spoon the melted chocolates into plastic baggies and cut one corner off of each bag. If you have squeeze bottles you can use those instead of plastic baggies, but I find the baggies to be easy to work with and I always have them on hand.
Notes on melting almond bark: melt for 30 seconds, stir, then melt for an additional 15-20 seconds or until the chocolate is melted and smooth. If you’d rather use a double boiler to melt your chocolate you can do that too.
Squeeze a dime-sized amount of chocolate onto the center of each pretzel arrangement.
Press two candy eyes into the center of the melted chocolate. A toothpick works great to press down without getting chocolate onto your fingers.
Add 3 rings of white chocolate around the pretzel arrangements.
Drag a toothpick through each section to create the “web”.
Add sprinkles.
Let spiderwebs sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes to harden or place them in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes.
The spiderweb pretzels can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
Easy Variations
These would be so fun to customize with different colors of melting chocolate, colored eyes, or adding candy spiders! You can also drizzle the white chocolate haphazardly for more stringy-looking spiderwebs.
