Ingredients
Scale
For the Mummy Pretzels:
- 3-4 cups pretzels
- 1 cup white candy melts
- 1 cup orange candy melts
- 1 cup green candy melts
- 1/2 cup chocolate candy melts
- Candy eyeballs
- Bowls to melt the candy in
For the Pudding Cups:
- 4 Snack Pack vanilla puddings
- 4 Snack Pack chocolate puddings
- 1 apple, diced
- Crushed pretzels
- 4 tsp Peter Pan peanut butter
Other:
- Halloween stickers of your choice
Instructions
- Melt Candy Melts: Melt the white, orange, green, and chocolate candy melts in separate bowls following the instructions on the package to prepare them for dipping.
- Dip Pretzels: Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper. Dip the pretzels into the different colors of melted candy and place them on the lined baking sheet to set for 15 minutes.
- Decorate Pretzels: If the melted chocolate has hardened, re-melt it. Using a fork, drizzle different colors of melted chocolate over the set pretzels. Attach candy eyeballs using melted chocolate as glue if necessary. Let the pretzels set for another 15 minutes.
- Prepare Pudding Cups: Place Halloween stickers on the outside of each pudding cup. Add 1 teaspoon of peanut butter and some crushed pretzels into each chocolate pudding cup and mix to combine. Add 1/4 of the diced apple to each vanilla pudding cup and mix to combine.
- Assemble and Serve: Top each pudding cup with a mummy pretzel. Sprinkle crushed pretzels over the chocolate pudding cups and diced apples over the vanilla pudding cups for garnish.
Notes
- Use parchment or wax paper to prevent melted candy from sticking to the baking sheet.
- If candy melts harden before you finish decorating, reheat gently over low heat to avoid burning.
- Candy eyeballs can be substituted with small dots of white and black icing if unavailable.
- Snack Pack puddings can be substituted with homemade pudding if preferred.
- Store decorated pretzels in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain crispness.
