Kids will love these adorable Chocolate Pretzel Spiders made with only dark chocolate, pretzel sticks, and candy eyes.

A hand holds a chocolate-covered spider-shaped treat with pretzel legs, candy eyes, and two white fangs—a fun food recipe—while a plastic spider and a glass of milk rest in the background on a gray surface.

This easy recipe is a fun alternative to my pretzel spider webs and can also be made with white or milk chocolate.

Feel free to add a spoon of peanut butter and top it with chocolate so the spider will set properly.

Serve this spooky chocolate pretzel treat at your next Halloween party, stick it in a lunchbox, or use it to top a cupcake for an irresistible snack!

You can make each spider look different, by piping chocolate eyebrows, using rod sprinkles for fangs, curved sprinkles for smiles, and pink disc sprinkles for cheeks.
