Step-by-Step Instructions for Spooky Halloween Pretzels
  1. Melt the Chocolate: Place milk or semi-sweet chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second intervals until smooth, approximately 1-2 minutes.
  2. Dip the Pretzels: Dip each large pretzel into the melted chocolate, allow excess to drip, and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  3. Decorate the Owls: Use split Oreos for eyes on chocolate-covered pretzels, drizzle with more melted chocolate for eyebrows, and add M&M's for noses.
  4. Set in the Freezer: Chill decorated pretzels in the freezer for about 10 minutes for the chocolate to set firmly.
  5. Create Variations: Melt white chocolate and repeat dipping with pretzel variants, using colorful candy melts for decoration.
  6. Serve and Store: Serve on a platter or store in an airtight container for up to a week at room temperature.
