Let’s Make it Together

Prepare Your Station: Gather all ingredients and set up your workspace with parchment paper lined on a baking sheet to catch any drips.

Melt the White Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips and vegetable oil. Heat in 30-second intervals until smooth, stirring after each interval.

Dip the Pretzel Rods: Dip each pretzel rod into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it’s covered halfway. Allow excess chocolate to drip off before placing it on parchment paper.

Add the Candy Eyes: While the chocolate is still wet, place two candy eyes near the top of each pretzel rod to create that adorable mummy face.

Drizzle Dark Chocolate: Melt dark chocolate chips in the same manner as before. Using a fork or piping bag, drizzle over each pretzel rod to mimic mummy bandages.

Let Them Set: Allow your Mummy Pretzels to sit at room temperature until fully set. This usually takes about 30 minutes but can be sped up in the fridge if you’re impatient!

Enjoy crafting these delicious snacks that not only taste amazing but also bring joy and laughter to your gatherings!
