Halloween Owl Pretzels
I just love fun Halloween treats. We are trying to share as many Halloween treats as we possibly can this year. They are just so much fun to make and so dang cute.
I love a great Halloween treat spread that makes you smile and soothes your sweet tooth. Not that there is a problem getting a hold of sweets at Halloween.
Maybe I should make a few Halloween treats that are fruit and veggie-based...hmm! Any suggestions?
Ingredients:
- Tiny twists pretzels
- Ghirardelli chocolate wafers
- Mini Chocolate chips
- Candy eyes
- Golden Yellow royal icing
Royal Icing Ingredients
- Egg whites
- Powdered sugar
- Cream of tartar
- Golden yellow gel food coloring
We love how cute these Halloween Owl Pretzels look when you put them out on a platter for Halloween Parties.
They would also be great for Harry Potter Parties. You can easily change from dark chocolate to white chocolate if you would prefer to do white owl pretzels.
You can also use candy corn for the beak instead of royal icing if you want to make it a little easier or have kids help make them.

- Now using the golden yellow icing draw a triangle going over it again to outline the triangle then fill it in with more of the golden yellow icing.
