Nothing too complicated today. You don’t even have to turn on your oven.
Just something cute
Something pleasing to the palate
Yet something easy
And perfect for Halloween!
Mummy Pretzels
(inspired by The Idea Room)
You will need:
16 Pretzel Rods
1 package (16 oz.) Vanilla CANDIQUIK® Coating
2 oz. Chocolate CANDIQUIK® Coating (for eyes)
Piping bag (or Ziploc bag) and toothpicks for decorating
Directions:
Melt CANDIQUIK according to package directions.
Pour vanilla coating into a piping bag or a plastic Ziploc bag (the freezer kind) with a small corner snipped off. (You want the hole to be somewhat large to get a thicker flow of coating. But not too large where you cannot control the flow. Nor too thin where it barely comes out.)
Arrange pretzel rods on a large piece of wax or parchment paper. Drizzle the coating over the top 3/4 of each pretzel rod, leaving a small empty space for the eyes.
Using a toothpick, draw on eyes with melted Chocolate CANDIQUIK.
If you had small candied eyes you could definitely use those and make them stand out more.
Unfortunately the only candied eye sprinkles I had were the size of my pinky nail…I would have had some googly eyed looking mummies!

These are great. Are you using a knife to trim these up after they harden?

Hi Catherine – the extra pieces of coating usually break off when you pull off the wax paper, but you could certainly use a knife too! Thanks for saying hi

Such a fun and easy treat for a Halloween party! I have to say I think the large googly eyes would have been awesome! (I like googly eyes though)
