Ingredients
  

For the Legs
  • 6 small pretzel sticks Opt for gluten-free pretzels if desired.
For the Body
  • 1 Reese’s Peanut Butter Pumpkin Feel free to substitute with any chocolate-covered treat.
For the Eyes
  • 2 candy eyeballs You can skip them if they aren’t available.
For Assembly
  • 1/2 cup melted chocolate Use dark, milk, or white chocolate based on your preference.

Equipment

  • Microwave-safe bowl
  • Parchment-lined tray

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by melting your chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 20-second intervals until smooth and pourable. Dip one end of six small pretzel sticks into the chocolate, then arrange them in a V-shape on a parchment-lined tray. Allow the chocolate to harden completely, which should take about 5 minutes.
  2. Grab a Reese’s Peanut Butter Pumpkin to serve as the body and insert one set of prepared pretzel legs into one side, using more melted chocolate to coat the base where they meet the pumpkin. Let it set for a minute.
  3. Insert the remaining pretzel sticks into the opposite side of the Reese’s Pumpkin and drizzle extra melted chocolate over the base. Allow everything to set for another couple of minutes until the chocolate is firm.
  4. Place candy eyeballs on top of the melted chocolate on the pumpkin and gently press them in to adhere well.
  5. Transfer your completed Pretzel & Chocolate Spiders to the refrigerator to chill for about 10-15 minutes to ensure the chocolate hardens completely.
