Ingredients

16 ounces milk or semi sweet chocolate, melted
8 ounces high quality white chocolate, melted
16 large pretzel twists
8 pretzel rods
Oreos, candy eyes, melted chocolate, melted white chocolate, chocolate candy melts, black licorice, fall M&M's

Instructions

Spooky Owls

1. Dip each pretzel twist in melted chocolate and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Split an Oreo in half and use for the eyes. Place the pretzels in the freezer to set for 10 minutes. Once the chocolate is set, add a small dot of melted chocolate to the center of each Oreo and attach the candy eyes. Drizzle a line of chocolate above the eyes for the eyebrows and attach 2 (1 inch) pieces of licorice to each eye. Dot a small amount of chocolate in between the Oreos and insert an M&M to create a nose. If desired, sprinkle the owl lightly with black or grey sanding sugar. Place back in the freezer for 10 minutes to set. The owls can be made with both chocolate and white chocolate covered pretzel twists.

Spooky Ghost

1. Dip each pretzel twist in melted white chocolate and place on parchment lined baking sheet. Insert two chocolate candy melts to create the eyes. Place the pretzels in the freezer to set for 10 minutes.

Spooky Mummies

1. Dip each pretzel twist in melted white chocolate and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Fill in the three pretzel holes by drizzling melted white chocolate inside. Insert 2 candy eyes. Place the pretzels in the freezer to set for 10 minutes.

Spooky Wands

1. Dip each pretzel rod in chocolate and return to the parchment lined baking sheets. Place the pretzels in the freezer to set for 10 minutes. Once set, drizzle melted chocolate up and down the pretzel rods and then sprinkle with gold stars. Freeze 10 minutes to set.
