Wicked Witch Finger Dipped Pretzels

Makes 15 witch fingers

Ingredients

  • 15 sliced almonds
  • 15 large pretzel rods
  • 6 ounces green candy melts about 1/2 bag

Instructions

  • Start by adding about half a bag of green candy melts to a medium bowl. Melt on 50% power for one minute, stir.
  • Then heat for another 30 seconds until fully melted and smooth when stirred.
  • Holding a pretzel rod by the end, dip it in the green melted candy until it is mostly covered, leaving about a one inch section undipped where you are holding it.
  • I lightly tap or shake the pretzel over the bowl, being careful not to break it, to remove any extra coating.
  • When you get to the bottom of the bowl you can use a spoon to help scoop up the candy melts and coat the pretzel.
  • Immediately press one of the sliced almonds, pointed side up, on the tip of the coated pretzel rod.
  • Repeat steps with the remaining pretzels.
  • When the coating has started to dry and is mostly matte but not completely hard, you can add the knuckles.
  • Take a toothpick and gently roll it across the top of each pretzel, in about 3 small rows, to add wrinkles.
  • Make two sets of wrinkles, one near the fingernail and one about halfway down the finger.
  • Let dry completely and serve.

Notes

To speed up drying time you can refrigerate them for 5-10 minutes.

All you need for this super easy treat are three simple ingredients!

My little love Ava helped make all our treats for movie night!

Start by adding about half a bag of green candy melts to a medium bowl. Melt on 50% power for one minute, stir.

Then heat for another 30 seconds until fully melted and smooth when stirred.

Holding a pretzel rod by the end, dip it in the green melted candy until it is mostly covered, leaving about a one inch section undipped where you are holding it.

I lightly tap or shake the pretzel over the bowl, being careful not to break it, to remove any extra coating. 

When you get to the bottom of the bowl you can use a spoon to help scoop up the candy melts and coat the pretzel. 

Place the dipped pretzels on a lined baking sheet.

Immediately press one of the sliced almonds, pointed side up, on the tip of the coated pretzel rod.

Repeat steps with the remaining pretzels.

When the coating has started to dry and is mostly matte but not completely hard, you can add the knuckles.

You may have to do this step halfway through dipping the pretzels.

Take a toothpick and gently roll it across the top of each pretzel, in about 3 small rows, to add wrinkles. Make two sets of wrinkles, one near the fingernail and one about halfway down the finger.

Let dry completely and serve. 

To speed up drying time you can refrigerate them for 5-10 minutes. 

 A spooky fun treat for Halloween movie night!

We served these witch fingers at our outdoor movie night over the weekend! 

The new Hocus Pocus 2 movie was amazing and so were all the snacks!

My little witch baby Stella loves a theme party just like her Mama!

Almost too cute (or spooky?) to eat!

It’s movie time!

As a mega Hocus Pocus fan, I recommend you check out the new film. It was great!
