Equipment

Ingredients

  • 7 strawberries
  • 100 grams white chocolate
  • 9 pretzels
  • 100 grams dark chocolate
  • 12 pretzels sticks
  • 9 flaked almonds
  • 4 red and yellow peppers mini
  • 1 teaspoon cream cheese
  • 100 grams red cheddar
  • 10 curved sprinkles
  • 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.
