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 separately according to package instructions, using bowls suitable for melting.
- Prepare baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper to place the pretzels on after dipping.
- Dip pretzels: Dip the pretzels in the different colors of melted candy melts and place them onto the lined baking sheet. Allow the chocolate to set for 15 minutes.
- Drizzle and add eyes: If the melted chocolate hardens before all pretzels are decorated, re-melt it. Using a fork, drizzle different colors of melted chocolate over the pretzels to create mummy bandages. Attach candy eyeballs to the pretzels using melted chocolate as glue if necessary. Let pretzels set for another 15 minutes.
- Decorate pudding cups: Place Halloween stickers on the outside of each pudding cup for festive decoration.
- Prepare chocolate pudding cups: Add 1 teaspoon of peanut butter and a sprinkle of crushed pretzels to each chocolate pudding cup, then mix to combine.
- Prepare vanilla pudding cups: Add 1/4 cup of diced apple to each vanilla pudding cup and mix well.
- Top pudding cups: Place one mummy pretzel on top of each pudding cup. Sprinkle additional crushed pretzels over chocolate pudding cups and diced apple over vanilla pudding cups for garnish.
Notes
- If candy melts harden quickly during decorating, gently re-melt in short intervals to avoid overheating.
- Candy eyeballs can be found in baking or craft stores or substituted with small white and black icing dots.
- You can use any type of pretzels, but small or medium-sized work best for easy dipping and decorating.
- For a nut-free version, omit peanut butter or substitute with sunflower seed butter if allergy concerns exist.
- Prepare pudding cups just before serving to keep pretzels crisp.
- Store mummy pretzels in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain crunch.
