Easy, Cute, and Delicious!
I love Halloween. I always have and I am sure I always will. I actually hate being scared and refuse to watch scary movies or go to haunted houses, but I love the decorations, the dressing up, the pumpkin patch and all the other things that go with Halloween. To get into the holiday spirit Zack and I went to the pumpkin patch this weekend (which is always fun) and I started making Halloween Treats. Chocolate covered pretzels are pretty much universally loved by all my friends and family. Candy Corn on the other hand is not. I enjoy the cute Halloween Candy, Zack won't touch it. So what did I do...I decided to make candy corn colored chocolate covered pretzels and it was a success. I am not going to post the how to here since I have posted it here: White Chocolate Covered Pretzels. Instead I will just post a few extra pictures. Stay tuned for more Halloween Treats!
Here they are all bagged up and ready to be gifted. Now you can see these treats featured on Rosie Snow on the Road.
This was an idea I had with pretzel rods. I dipped the rod in each color, starting with the white chocolate and letting it cool between each color. They did not come out quite as cute as I was hoping, but they still tasted good.

So cute and festive! We aren't huge fans of the candy either but I'm sure we could get into some chocolate covered pretzels! I think the pretzel rods are adorable!
Cute idea! I don't like candy corn very much so this would be the perfect treat to make. I don't like being scared either! I hate scary movies.

What a clever idea. I especially like the pretzel rods. They turned out really cute!
Super cuper cute, Lovely gift.
HEY It's jontasia I love the idea They look really good :)
The pretzels look yummy. How did you leave them to set after dipping them in chocolate? Or did you do one side of the pretzel, left it to set then did the other? x
To the last commenter. After I dipped the pretzel rod I put the undipped side in a cup of uncooked rice. It worked really well to hold them while they dried.
love these all!
These are ADORABLE. I want to make them now - Thanks for the tip!
I love how you used candy corn colors. It looks great in the bags.
These are so adorable!! I can't wait to make some myself. What a great idea!!!
So, did you buy colored candy melts? Or did you dye white chocolate chips? I have NEVER had success coloring white chocolate, it always seizes up on me.
Hi Jamie,
I used colored candy melts. I have only been able to color the white melts with powdered food coloring.
Love all of these!! I just recently discovered your site via Pinterest. sooo glad I did! I shared your post here...
