How To Make Halloween Candy Bar Pretzel Bites

Step One: Bite-Sized Candy Bars

Start with a package of bite-sized candy bars.

The package I used contained 3Musketeers, Milky Way, and Snickers (I didn’t use the Twix bars). You can also try Reeses Peanut Butter Cups, Hershey’s Kisses, and Rolos.

Unwrap one candy bar for each pretzel bite you want to make.

Step Two: Square Pretzels

Spread the pretzels out on a rimmed baking sheet in single layer.

When making a large number of these Halloween candy bar pretzel bites, start with only a portion of the pretzels and do the rest in batches.

I like using the square checkerboard shaped pretzels to make candy bar pretzel bites. They are the perfect size for the bite-sized candy bars.

Step Three: Assemble

Put one bite-sized candy bar on each pretzel.

Step Four: Bake To Soften

Bake at 300˚F for about 3 minutes to soften the candy bars.

Step Five: Made a Pretzel Sandwich

Working quickly, press another pretzel onto the top of the softened candy bar.

You’ll want to press hard enough to squish the pretzel into the soften chocolate but not so hard that you break the pretzel in half.

If the top pretzel won’t stick because the chocolate cooled too much and started to harden, return the candy bar topped pretzels to the oven to soften again before continuing.

Step Six: Dip The Pretzel Bites

Melt white candy coating or vanilla almond bark in the microwave according to the instructions on the package.

Dip the candy bar pretzel bites in the candy coating.

Step Seven: Sprinkles

Immediately top with Halloween sprinkles before the candy coating hardens.

Allow the candy coating to harden and set before removing from the pan.

Halloween Candy Bar Pretzel Bites FAQs

1. Where can I find the square pretzels? The pretzel used to make these pretzel bites are called snaps and are widely available at grocery stores in Minnesota. You can also purchase them online here.

2. Will pretzel twists work instead of the square pretzels? Yes, you can use pretzel twists as well.

3. Can these pretzel bites be dipped in melted white chocolate chips? I love using white candy coating that comes in a small tray because it is so convenient but white chocolate chips will work too. If you are having issues dipping them in the melted white chocolate, you can thin it with a little shortening.

4. Have you ever frozen these candy bar pretzel bites? Are they soggy after defrosting? Yes, you can make them ahead of time and freeze them. No, they are not soggy after defrosting.
