From watching scary movies to dressing up as ghouls and goblins, spooky season means it’s time for delicious snacks for a ghostly good time. Before heading out to trick-or-treat, gather your witches and warlocks in the kitchen for some family-friendly fun and craft these haunting yet tasty treats.

Chocolate Covered Pumpkin Pretzels



Prep time: 10 minutes

Cook time: 5 minutes

Yield: about 36 pretzels

  • 3/4 cup orange candy melts
  • bag (16 ounces) mini pretzel twists
  • 1/4 cup mini green coated chocolate candies


  1. Line baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. In medium microwave-safe bowl, melt candy melts 30 seconds then stir. Working in 15-second intervals, continue microwaving until melted and smooth, stirring between intervals. With fork or dipping utensil, dip 36 mini pretzel twists, one at a time, into melted orange chocolate and gently tap side of bowl to remove excess.
  3. Lay each covered pretzel on parchment paper. Using remaining pretzel twists, break apart enough to equal 1/4 cup.
  4. Place one mini green chocolate candy (to form leaf) and one broken pretzel piece (to form stem) on top of each dipped pretzel. Repeat with remaining pretzels and chocolate candies.
  5. Let set until solid. Pretzels can harden on counter about 30 minutes, or placed in refrigerator or freezer 5-10 minutes.
