Spider Webs
Create these sweet and salty wispy treats from pretzel sticks and your choice of chocolate. These are such a hit with grownup and kids alike.
Ingredients
-
Pretzel sticks - 1 small package
-
Chocolate melts (white or dark chocolate) - 2 cups
-
Sprinkles of your choice
-
Coconut oil - 1 teaspoon (optional)
-
Piping bags or ziploc bags
Preparation
-
Line sheet pan or counter with parchment paper.
-
Arrange 8 pretzel sticks with the centers touching and the outer edges spaced like a web.
-
Melt the melting wafers according to the package instructions, approximately 2 minutes in a microwave in 30 second increments or 3 minutes over a double boiler.
-
Add one teaspoon of coconut oil to keep the chocolate shiny.
-
Transfer to a piping bag or ziploc bag and cut the tip to create a small hole.
-
Pipe a small amount of the melted candy onto the center of each web where the pretzels meet to hold the webs together. Then pipe a web pattern by starting in the center and spiraling out to the edges. Go around the outer edges a couple times to create a firm border.
-
Carefully spoon over the sprinkles.
-
Let it set for an hour at room temperature. For warm or humid climates, chill the chocolate webs for 30 minutes before serving.
-
Arrange on a platter and serve.
