Ingredients (Prep Time: 6 Minutes | Makes: 12 Pretzel Rods)

• 1 package blue and purple sprinkles
• 1 container candy eyes sprinkles
• 10 oz white chocolate melting wafers
• 6 drops purple gel food coloring
• 1 tsp coconut oil
• 12 pretzel rods

Instructions

1- Melt white chocolate wafers in the microwave on defrost: start with 2 minutes, stir, then continue at 1-minute intervals until smooth.

2- Stir in purple gel food coloring and coconut oil until fully combined.

3- Dip each pretzel rod into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off.

4- Place on parchment-lined baking sheet and immediately add one candy eye on top.

5- Sprinkle with monster-themed sprinkles and let dry completely before serving.

Pro Tips for Success

• Use a tall glass instead of a bowl to dip rods cleanly and evenly.
• Work quickly—white chocolate sets fast, so add sprinkles and eyes right after dipping.
• Switch up the color for themed parties—green, orange, or slime-drip yellow all look great!
• These store well in the fridge for a few days, making them perfect for party prep.

These Monster Pretzel Rods are the ultimate low-effort Halloween snack that still looks super creative on a platter.

You can make a whole batch in under 15 minutes and the results are festive, fun, and totally on-theme.

Great for parties, great for kids, and great for any monster-sized sweet tooth.

Enjoy!
