Method
- Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside for cooling the decorated pretzels.
- Separate your pretzel twists into two equal portions of 3 cups each for the different color coatings.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the orange candy melts with 1 tablespoon coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth.
- Working quickly, add the first batch of pretzels to the orange coating and toss gently with a fork until evenly coated.
- Using a fork, transfer coated pretzels to the prepared parchment paper, allowing excess coating to drip off.
- While the orange coating is still wet, immediately add your chosen decorations like candy eyes, orange sprinkles, or mini chocolate chips.
- In another microwave-safe bowl, melt the black candy melts with the remaining tablespoon of coconut oil using the same method.
- Repeat the coating process with the remaining pretzels and black chocolate, decorating immediately with black sprinkles, candy eyes, or other spooky additions.
- Allow all pretzels to cool and set completely at room temperature, approximately 15-20 minutes.
- For extra spookiness, drizzle contrasting colors over set pretzels using a fork or piping bag.
- Once completely set, transfer to serving bowls or package in treat bags for sharing.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week for maximum freshness and crunch.
Notes
The coconut oil helps create a smooth, glossy coating that sets perfectly. Work quickly when decorating as the chocolate coating sets fast. These treats are perfect for making ahead and store beautifully for up to a week.
