Print Recipe

Get ready for some delightfully spooky fun with these crunchy, sweet, and perfectly ghoulish Wicked Witch Finger Pretzel Rods – the ultimate Halloween party treat! They’re simple to make, fun to decorate, and sure to be a frightful favorite with both kids and adults alike.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 pretzel rods
  • 12 oz white chocolate melting wafers or chips
  • Green gel food coloring
  • 24 blanched almond slivers
  • Red decorating gel or red food coloring (optional, for blood effect)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  2. Step 2: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate wafers or chips in 20–30 second intervals, stirring after each until smooth. Alternatively, melt using a double boiler over simmering water.
  3. Step 3: Stir in green gel food coloring, one drop at a time, until you achieve your desired witchy hue.
  4. Step 4: Dip each pretzel rod into the melted green chocolate, covering about two-thirds of its length. Let the excess drip off before placing on the prepared parchment paper.
  5. Step 5: Immediately press one blanched almond sliver onto the tip of each pretzel to create a fingernail. For added realism, gently shape a knuckle ridge below the almond.
  6. Step 6: Optional – Add a small dot of red decorating gel around the almond base or tip of the pretzel for a bloody effect.
  7. Step 7: Allow the witch fingers to set at room temperature for at least 30 minutes or refrigerate for 10–15 minutes to speed up. Once set, arrange on a platter and serve your spooky, crunchy creations!

Notes

You can make these Witch Finger Pretzel Rods ahead of time and store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Perfect for Halloween parties, school treats, or themed movie nights! Try drizzling dark or milk chocolate for an eerie texture contrast.
