I love sweet and salty treats. Pretzels are an excellent base for many cute holiday treats, such as 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. My kids thought these were fun to snack on, and they'd make the perfect addition to any holiday party.
Why I Like This Recipe
- Under an hour to make. White chocolate hardens quickly, so you can enjoy these sweet treats in under an hour.
- 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! The chocolate not only adds a fun touch, but it also binds the entire web together. 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 a more stringy-looking spiderweb effect.
- Simple ingredients. You only need two ingredients to make basic spiderweb pretzels. If you'd like to take them up a notch, add some sprinkles and candy eyes to your shopping list.

Tips and Tricks
- Tips for melting almond bark: Melt for 30 seconds, then stir. Next, melt for an additional 15-20 seconds or until the chocolate is smooth and melted. If you'd rather use a double boiler to melt your chocolate, you can do that, too.
- How to speed up chocolate hardening: Let spiderwebs sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes to harden, or place them in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes.
- Best way to drizzle white chocolate: If you have squeeze bottles, you can use those, but I find plastic baggies to be easy to work with, and I always have them on hand.
Ingredients
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.
- 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 Spiderweb Pretzels
Step 1: Arrange pretzels on two parchment-lined baking sheets in groups of 8 with the ends meeting in the center in a star arrangement.
Step 2: Melt chocolate and white chocolate in microwave-safe bowls. Spoon the melted chocolates into plastic baggies and cut one corner off of each bag.
Step 3: 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.
Step 4: Drag a toothpick through each section to create the "web".
Step 5: 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.
