Ingredients
Scale
- 12 ounces white chocolate chips
- Pretzel rods (sturdy, classic thin rods preferred)
- Candy eyes
- Optional toppings: mini chocolate chips, colored sprinkles, edible glitter
- Optional: vegetable oil (to thin chocolate if needed)
Instructions
- Place 12 ounces (340 g) of white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and glossy (about 2 minutes total). Add a teaspoon of vegetable oil if chocolate thickens too much.
- Lay pretzel rods on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Using a spoon or piping bag, drizzle white chocolate back and forth over each pretzel rod to create the mummy bandages, leaving space for the eyes (about 10 minutes).
- While the chocolate is still wet, use tweezers or a toothpick to place two candy eyes on each pretzel rod, pressing gently.
- Allow the pretzels to set at room temperature or refrigerate for 15-20 minutes until the chocolate hardens completely.
- Optional: Sprinkle mini chocolate chips or colored sprinkles before the chocolate sets.
Notes
Heat white chocolate gently to avoid seizing. Add a teaspoon of vegetable oil if chocolate thickens. Place candy eyes while chocolate is wet to ensure they stick. Allow chocolate to fully harden before handling to avoid smudging. For gluten-free or dairy-free options, use certified gluten-free pretzels and dairy-free white chocolate melts.
