Description

These Chocolate Covered Pretzel Bones are a fun and festive treat perfect for Halloween or any spooky-themed party. Crunchy pretzel rods are dipped in creamy white candy melts and adorned with mini marshmallows to resemble bones, making them a playful and easy no-bake snack that kids and adults will love.

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 6 pretzel rods (Use rods, not sticks!)
  • 24 mini marshmallows
  • 1 package white candy melts (about 8-10 ounces)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pretzels: Break each pretzel rod in half to create 12 pieces, which will form the ‘bones’. Set aside.
  2. Melt Candy: Melt the white candy melts according to package instructions, typically in 15-30 second increments in the microwave, stirring thoroughly after each interval until smooth and creamy.
  3. Dip and Add Marshmallows: Dip one smooth end of a pretzel piece into the melted candy, then immediately press two mini marshmallows onto the dipped end to form the ‘bone joints’. Repeat for all 12 pretzel halves. Let these set for about 5 minutes to harden slightly.
  4. Cover with Candy Coating: Dip each marshmallow-tipped end along with about two-thirds of the pretzel rod into the white candy melts, ensuring the marshmallows and a portion of the rod are coated. Let them rest until the coating firms up.
  5. Repeat on Other End: Repeat the dipping process on the opposite end of each pretzel piece, forming the other ‘bone joint’, and place them on wax paper to cool and set completely at room temperature. Do not refrigerate.

Notes

  • Use pretzel rods (thicker) instead of thin pretzel sticks for better structure.
  • Allow candy coating to set at room temperature; refrigeration can cause cracking.
  • If candy melts harden during dipping, reheat in short microwave bursts to maintain smoothness.
  • These treats are best consumed within 2-3 days for optimal freshness.
