Halloween treats don’t need to be complicated to be fun. These Halloween Spider Pretzels turn simple pretzel sticks and melted white chocolate into little edible spider webs. I love how something made with only a few ingredients can look so playful on a Halloween table. You get the crunch and saltiness of the pretzels, sweetness from the white chocolate, and a little extra chocolate from the sprinkles. And don’t worry about making every web perfect. Mine certainly weren’t! Slightly uneven lines actually make each one look a little different, which is part of the fun.

How to Make Halloween Spider Pretzels with White Chocolate
Arrange the Pretzel Sticks
Line a flat tray or work surface with parchment paper. Arrange the pretzel sticks so they cross in the center and spread outward like the spokes of a spider web.
Melt the White Chocolate
Melt the white chocolate until smooth, then transfer it to a piping bag.
Let the Chocolate Cool Slightly
Let the melted chocolate sit in the piping bag for a few minutes before piping. This allows it to thicken slightly and helps the spider web hold its shape instead of spreading.
Secure the Center
Pipe white chocolate over the center where the pretzel sticks meet. This will hold the pretzels together once the chocolate sets.
Create the Spider Web
Continue piping the white chocolate around the pretzel sticks, connecting each section to create a spider-web pattern.
Add the Sprinkles
While the white chocolate is still soft, decorate the spider web with chocolate sprinkles.
Let It Set
Leave the spider pretzels undisturbed until the chocolate has completely set. Carefully lift them from the parchment paper before serving.
