Healthy Halloween Snacks
Equipment
Ingredients
- 7 strawberries
- 100 grams white chocolate
- 9 pretzels
- 100 grams dark chocolate
- 12 pretzels, sticks
- 9 flaked almonds
- 4 mini peppers, red and yellow
- 1 teaspoon cream cheese
- 100 grams red cheddar
- 10 sprinkles, curved
- 54 candy eyes
Instructions
Pretzel vampires
- Melt the white chocolate.
- Dip the pretzels in white chocolate. Tap to remove any excess, top with candy eyes, and leave to set on parchment paper.
- Melt the dark chocolate in the same way as the white chocolate.
- Add the chocolate to a piping utensil or bag.
- Pipe the vampire cape collar onto parchment paper and place the white chocolate pretzel on top.
- Squeeze some chocolate into the middle of the pretzel to mimic the mouth.
- Top with flaked almonds for fangs.
Strawberry ghosts
- Melt the white chocolate.
- Place the chocolate in a piping utensil or bag.
- Pipe the scalloped edge and cover the part above with white chocolate.
- Top with candy eyes and some melted dark chocolate on the edge of a metal straw for the mouth. Alternatively, you can use a curved sprinkle.
Pretzel brooms
- Cut the cheese into little blocks. Mine were about 5 cm. x 2 cm. (2 inches x 0.8 inches).
- Trim broom bristles into the bottom half of the block. I made two or three cuts across on both sides.
- Use a metal straw at the top of the block to create a hole. The cheese should come out with the straw if you move it back and forth gently.
- Insert the pretzel stick carefully into the hole.
- Fan out the bristles of the cheese.
- Top with candy eyes (I just placed mine on but you can secure it with edible glue if you prefer).
- Add a curved sprinkle for the smile.
Pepper frankensteins
- Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the mouth details into the peppers.
- You can fill this with cream cheese to make the mouth more visible.
- Top with candy eyes (you can use a little edible glue to secure them).
- Make a little hole at each side and insert a small piece of pretzel stick.
- Arrange on a platter and serve.
