Mummy Pretzels

My son had a buddy over after school, so I surprised the kids with these fun mummy pretzels. The kids thought they were clever, fun, and super tasty. I wrapped the leftover mummies in plastic wrap, placed them in a Tupperware container with a lid, and kept them in the refrigerator. The kids enjoyed them as their school lunch treat for the rest of the week. These mummy pretzels were fun to make, festive for Halloween, and really delicious.

Mummy Pretzels

Ingredients:

• 12 pretzel rods
• 1½ cups white chocolate melting wafers
• 2-3 tsp coconut oil
• 24 Mini chocolate chips

How to Make Mummy Pretzels

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Place 1 cup of white chocolate chips and one teaspoon of coconut oil in a glass bowl then put into the microwave for 30 seconds. Remove and stir then place back into the microwave for 10 seconds. Remove and stir then place back into the microwave for 10 seconds. Remove and stir until completely melted. If needed, continue cooking for 10-second increments. Be careful not to overcook the chocolate!

Dip the pretzel rods in the white chocolate until the top half of the pretzel rod is thickly coated. Place the pretzel rod on the lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining rods.

Place the remaining 1/2 cup of white chocolate chips and 1-2 teaspoons of coconut oil in a glass bowl then put into the microwave for 30 seconds. Remove and stir then place back into the microwave for 10 seconds. Remove and stir then place back into the microwave for 10 seconds. Remove and stir until completely melted. If needed, continue cooking for 10-second increments. Be careful not to overcook the chocolate! Side Note: I use more coconut oil in this white chocolate so it is a thinner consistency.

Pour the melted white chocolate into a small zip-lock bag. Cut a tiny bit off the corner of the zip lock bag. Coat each top of the pretzel rod with a bit of frosting. Place the mini chocolate chips on the frosting so it will help glue the chips to the mummy’s face.

Carefully drizzle the white chocolate back and forth over each pretzel to make it look like a mummy. Place the tray into the refrigerator for at least 10-15 minutes before serving. Wrap any leftover rod individually with plastic wrap and place it in a sealed Tupperware container in the refrigerator. They make great school lunch treats. Enjoy!
