Hello there! This is Katie from The Casual Craftlete blog and I am so excited to be apart of Eighteen25’s Spooktacular September! Today, I am sharing a fun Halloween treat along with a free printable to decorate treat bags. These chocolate covered owl pretzels are a fun and easy food craft for the kiddos to help with. Not only are these owls cute but they also taste delicious. Halloween will be a real hoot!

Chocolate Covered Owl Pretzels

Supplies: (affiliate links are included in this post)

Mini Pretzel Twists
Light Cocoa Candy Melts
Candy Eyeballs
Orange Slices Candy
Ziploc Bag or Pipping Bag
Polka Dot Treat Bags
Trick or Treat Printable (download below)

Instructions:

Start by melting the light cocoa candy melts following the instructions on the package. I use a microwave safe bowl and heat the candy melts in the microwave. Once the melts are smooth and runny, get the mini pretzel twists ready. Use a fork to submerge pretzels into melted candy and tap the fork on the side of the bowl to remove excess candy. Place chocolate covered pretzels on a piece of parchment or wax paper to dry.
Fill a pipping bag or Ziploc bag with melted candy. Cut a small hole in the bag creating a tip and squeeze melted candy in the openings of the pretzels. While the chocolate is still wet, place candy eyeballs in the openings.
Use a knife to cut a small triangle out of the orange slice candy. Use the melted candy to attach the nose to the pretzel. Let set completely.

I made a cute little trick or treat bag using a polka dot favor bag, ribbon, and the free Halloween printable. Simply print and cut the printable and tape it to the front of the bag. I added a white ribbon using a hole punch for an added touch. Fill the bag with chocolate covered owl pretzels for a cute treat.

DOWNLOAD PRINTABLE (3 X 5)

If you have a good quality printer at home, just print as many copies as you like. I don’t have a good printer at home so I take the files to my local Staples store and have them print on glossy photo paper. I like how the images look on the glossy photo paper but you can use a heavy white cardstock too.
