Ingredients:
- 12 oz mini pretzel sticks
- 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate melting wafers
- 1 tsp coconut oil
- 24 small candy eyes or mini M&M candies
Instructions:
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Arrange 8 mini pretzel sticks in a starburst pattern for each web, ensuring the ends touch in the center and overlap slightly at the edges.
- Repeat the assembly until you have 24 webs spaced evenly on the tray.
- Place the chocolate wafers and coconut oil in a microwave-safe glass bowl.
- Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring vigorously between each session, until the chocolate is velvety and smooth.
- Transfer the melted chocolate into a piping bag or a heavy-duty Ziploc bag with a snipped corner.
- Hold the bag approximately 1 inch above the pretzels and squeeze the chocolate in a circular motion, starting from the center and moving outward to create a spiral web effect.
- Apply a generous dollop of chocolate at the center point of the starburst to lock the pretzel sticks together.
- Add a small dot of chocolate on the outer edge of the web and place a candy eye or mini M&M candy on top to create the spider.
- Allow the pretzels to set at room temperature briefly, then move to the fridge for 40 minutes to fully set.
