Description

Create spooky and delicious Halloween-themed Chocolate Pretzel Spider Webs using simple ingredients like semi-sweet and white chocolate chips combined with pretzel sticks. Perfect for festive parties or as a fun treat, these spider webs are made by arranging pretzels in circular patterns and piping melted chocolate in a spiral to resemble a spider web. The no-bake method makes this recipe quick and easy, ideal for both kids and adults.

Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate

  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (quantity may vary depending on number of webs)
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional, for decoration)

Pretzels

  • Pretzel sticks (enough to form circles, approximately 8 pretzels per web)

Other

  • Parchment paper (to line working surface)
  • Disposable pastry or icing bags, or resealable sandwich-size plastic bags

Instructions

  1. Prepare the work surface: Line your table, kitchen countertop, or a cookie sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy transfer of the spider webs later.
  2. Arrange pretzels into circles: Take 8 pretzel sticks and form a circle with one end of each pretzel radiating out from the center, resembling the spokes of a wheel. For smaller spider webs, break 4 pretzel sticks in half to create 8 smaller pieces and arrange them similarly. Repeat for as many webs as you’d like to make.
  3. Melt the chocolate: Place 1/2 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave for 45-50 seconds, then stir. If not fully melted, continue microwaving in 10-20 second increments, stirring each time until smooth. Avoid overheating or burning the chocolate; if this occurs, discard and start anew in small batches.
  4. Prepare the piping bag: Pour the melted chocolate into a disposable pastry or icing bag (or a sandwich-size zip-top plastic bag). Snip off a small tip to allow controlled piping of the chocolate. Adjust the size of the opening as needed.
  5. Create the spider web pattern: Starting at the center of the pretzel circle, gently pipe the melted chocolate in a spiral pattern outward toward the edges of the pretzels, connecting them visually like a spider web.
  6. Dry the webs: Allow the chocolate pretzel spider webs to dry at room temperature for about 1 hour. Alternatively, place them in the refrigerator to speed up the drying process, reducing the time to less than an hour.
  7. Remove and serve: Once fully set, carefully peel the spider webs off the parchment paper and serve as festive Halloween treats.

Notes

  • Use only small batches of chocolate when melting to avoid burning.
  • You can use white chocolate chips in the same way for a decorative contrast or to create spider accents.
  • If you don’t have pastry bags, a resealable plastic bag with a snipped corner works perfectly.
  • Store finished spider webs in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator to maintain crispness.
  • For a gluten-free version, ensure pretzel sticks are certified gluten-free.
