You know how you see these holiday specials that show how to make treats for Halloween but they show it to you the DAY before Halloween (I’m not mentioning names…MARTHA!). Well, how is THAT supposed to help me? Unlike you (MARTHA!) I don’t have 30 yards of muslin, 2 pounds of fresh truffles and a container of edible gold dust in my closet unlike some insanely rich entertaining guru who has a full time staff, show and a magazine but shall remain nameless.
So, chickens, here is an EASY Halloween treat that you can do with your kids with only three (yes, I said THREE!) ingredients. And in plenty of time before Halloween. You’re welcome.

I found these skinnier pretzels. The thick pretzel logs would work fine though.

Ok, ok, parchment or wax paper is technically four things you need.


Yeah, I know we all buy a type of that gel stuff once a year and use only 1/100th of the tube. So you could totally use chocolate chips, M&M’s, raisins or whatever you have in your cupboard here. (What UP, Martha!)

Which we totally did.

I just found your site through Stumble and I wanted to let you know that I love your blog! Although, you are much more talented in the culinary department, you make it seem so easy that I’m going to really try some of your recent fun, like the Boo! White Chocolate Pretzel ghosts! Thanks!

Hey, those do seem awful easy. Though I can see fights ensuing with my three over someone hogging something. LOL! Thanks for the recipe!
BTW, I like your step by step photos with the instructions right on them, cool!
