Halloween Pretzel Bites

Halloween Pretzel Bites

Halloween Pretzel Bites are the best snack for little fingers to make.  My crazy little boys and several cousins (all younger than 5) were running around like little tornadoes at my house last week.  Desperate for a little more peace, I whipped out the ingredients to Halloween Pretzel Bites and let these little boys go to town.  Worked like a charm.  And I felt like the world’s greatest Mom/Auntie to boot! They were so cute and intense putting these little treats together.  And so proud of themselves!  Isn’t it cute how little people love to create in the kitchen?  Especially festive treats! I loved finding something that was at toddler level so they could really do it all by themselves.  I think these Halloween Pretzel Bites are perfect for a Family Home Evening treat to jump start the Halloween season .

Ingredients

Scale
  • Small Pretzels (Snyder’s Snaps work best)
  • 1 bag Hershey’s Hugs
  • Candy Corn

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place small pretzels on a cookie sheet (line with silpat or parchment paper for easy clean up). Top each pretzel with a Hershey’s Hug candy. Place in the oven for 3-4 minutes. The Hugs will look shiny but will still hold their shape. Remove from oven and push a Candy Corn on top of each one. Let firm up for 30 minutes (longer if kitchen is warm).

Tribute to my sweet Mom

I developed my love of cooking at an early age “helping” my Mom bake cookies, make dinner, and knead bread. She had quite the well of patience! She is the one that taught me about measurements, leavening agents, egg-washes, the basic white sauce, and numerous other mysteries of the kitchen!  I cherish the memories I have of learning to cook at her side. Thank you Mom! You instilled in me a respect for work as well as a joy in creating delicious things. I love you! xoxo
