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 for melting candy
For the Pudding Cups:
- 4 Snack Pack vanilla puddings
- 4 Snack Pack chocolate puddings
- 1 apple, diced
- crushed pretzels (amount as needed)
- 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 in separate bowls according to package instructions to prepare for dipping and drizzling.
- Dip Pretzels: Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper. Dip the pretzels in the different colors of melted candy and place them on the lined baking sheet. Allow the candy coating to set for 15 minutes.
- Drizzle and Decorate: If the melted chocolate hardens, gently re-melt it. Use a fork to drizzle different colors of melted candy over the pretzels. Add candy eyeballs, using melted chocolate as glue if necessary. Let the decorated pretzels set for an additional 15 minutes.
- Prepare Pudding Cups: Place Halloween stickers on the outside of each pudding cup to decorate.
- Mix Chocolate Pudding Cups: Add 1 teaspoon of peanut butter and some crushed pretzels to each chocolate pudding cup and mix well to combine.
- Mix Vanilla Pudding Cups: Add 1/4 cup of diced apple to each vanilla pudding cup and mix until evenly incorporated.
- Assemble Cups: Top each pudding cup with a mummy pretzel. Sprinkle extra crushed pretzels over the chocolate pudding cups and diced apple over the vanilla cups for garnish.
Notes
- Use parchment or wax paper to prevent sticking when the pretzels are drying.
- If candy melts harden too much during the process, re-melt gently to maintain a smooth coating consistency.
- Candy eyeballs can be glued on securely using a small dab of melted chocolate.
- Substitute peanut butter with almond or sunflower seed butter for allergy-friendly options.
- For a stronger apple flavor, use a tart apple variety such as Granny Smith.
- Store assembled pretzels in an airtight container to keep them fresh and crisp.
