Why You’ll Love These Mini Mummy Pretzels

- Fun and festive Halloween colors
- Sweet and salty flavor combination
- Kid-friendly and easy to make

Ingredients
- 1 bag Snyder’s mini pretzel sticks (thicker mini sticks)
- 2 cups white chocolate or white candy melts
- Purple food coloring or candy coloring
- Grey food coloring or candy coloring
- Wilton candy eyes
- Additional white chocolate for piping
Instructions
1. Prepare the Pretzels
Line a baking sheet or tray with parchment paper.
Separate pretzels into pairs so they can be placed side-by-side to create the mummy shape.
2. Melt the White Chocolate
Place white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl.
Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
Divide melted chocolate evenly into two bowls.
Tint one bowl purple and the other grey using candy coloring or oil-based food coloring.
3. Dip the Pretzels
Dip two mini pretzel sticks into the colored chocolate and place side-by-side on the parchment paper.
Immediately add two candy eyes near the top of the pretzels.
Repeat with remaining pretzels.
Allow chocolate to set completely.
4. Make the Mummy Bandages
Melt additional white chocolate until smooth.
Transfer melted chocolate to a piping bag or zip-top bag and snip a very small hole in the corner.
Pipe thin white chocolate lines across the pretzels to create mummy “bandages.”
Leave a small opening around the eyes so they remain visible.
5. Let Set
Allow the white chocolate bandages to harden completely before serving.

Tips for Best Results
Use Thick Pretzel Sticks
The thicker mini pretzel sticks create the cutest mummy shape and hold the chocolate better.
Use Candy Coloring
Regular liquid food coloring can cause chocolate to seize. Oil-based or candy coloring works best.
Work Quickly
Add the eyes before the chocolate sets.
Pipe Thin Bandages
Thin lines create the most realistic mummy look.
Variations
Add Halloween Sprinkles
Sprinkle before the chocolate sets for extra festive color.
Use Orange and Green Chocolate
Create different Halloween-themed mummy colors.
Add Drizzled Dark Chocolate
For a spooky decorative finish.
Make Ghost Pretzels
Use only white chocolate and candy eyes.
Storage
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days
- Keep in a cool dry place
- Avoid heat so the chocolate stays firm
These mini mummy pretzels are sweet, salty, festive, and almost too cute to eat. With colorful chocolate, candy eyes, and piped mummy bandages, they’re the perfect easy Halloween treat for parties, dessert tables, and spooky celebrations.
