How to Make Bloody Witches’ Fingers Pretzels

If you’re searching for something beyond basic sprinkles, googly-eyed mummies, and crushed bug Halloween pretzels, prepare to be captivated by Bloody Witches’ Fingers Pretzels! These are not for the faint of heart – they’re delightfully grotesque and sure to be a conversation starter.

Here’s what you’ll need to conjure these creepy digits:

• Salted pretzel rods – the longer the better!
• Green candy melts – for that perfect, eerie skin tone.
• Black gel food coloring – to add depth and realism to the fingernails.
• Sliced almonds – these will transform into realistic fingernails.
• Red gel food coloring – for the dramatic “bloody” effect.

Adding a touch of black food coloring to the sliced almonds enhances the authenticity of the witches’ fingers, while a carefully placed squeeze of red gel food coloring creates the perfect bloody drip. For the knuckle indentations, allow the candy coating to partially set before using a knife to gently create indentations along each finger. These small details make all the difference!

These pretzel treats are guaranteed to impress, capturing the spooky essence of Halloween with their incredibly realistic and deliciously eerie presentation. Perfect for the adventurous Halloween enthusiast.

How to Make Mummy Pretzels

If you’re seeking a sweet treat that’s equal parts adorable and spooky, look no further than mummy pretzels! These captivating treats are a fantastic addition to any Halloween gathering and are sure to charm both kids and adults alike.

Here’s the list of ingredients you will need:

• Salted pretzel rods – the foundation for our mummified masterpieces.
• White chocolate – the perfect coating for creating the mummy wraps.
• Vegetable oil – a secret ingredient for achieving a smooth, flawless chocolate coating.
• Candy eyes – to bring your mummies to life!
• Sprinkles (optional) – for adding a touch of color and festive flair.

To bring these endearing covered pretzels to life, begin by melting the white chocolate with a splash of vegetable oil. The oil ensures a smooth, easy-to-work-with coating. Dip the pretzel rods into the melted chocolate, carefully allowing any excess to drip off. Next, drizzle more white chocolate over the coated pretzels to create the iconic mummy wraps. While the chocolate is still wet, strategically place candy eyes on the pretzel. Feel free to add Halloween-themed sprinkles for extra visual appeal. Allow the chocolate to set completely, and then watch these adorable mummy pretzels vanish from your Halloween spread!

Mummy Pretzels are a delightful combination of spooky and sweet, making them an irresistible addition to your Halloween celebration. Easy to make and fun to eat, these treats are sure to be a hit with everyone!

How to Color Chocolate for Halloween Pretzels

When it comes to coating your pretzels, you have two primary options: chocolate or candy melts. For our spooky designs, we used a combination of both, opting for white chocolate for the mummy-inspired pretzels and vibrant green candy melts for the bloody witches’ fingers and the base under the crushed bugs. And yes, we’re talking about CRUSHED BUGS!

You can often find green candy melts at larger grocery stores or online, but if you prefer coloring your own chocolate, there’s one crucial rule to remember: always use gel-based food coloring, not water-based.

Chocolate and water simply don’t mix, and combining them will cause the chocolate to seize and become unusable. Gel-based food coloring (we’ve linked to our favorite brand) blends seamlessly into melted white chocolate and comes in every imaginable color.

Choose your preferred coating method and get ready to add vibrant, eye-catching colors to your Halloween pretzel creations!
