🧪 Ingredients
You only need a few ingredients to make these spooky Frankenstein Pretzel Fingers:
Pretzel rods – The “fingers” of Frankenstein.
White chocolate melts – For a smooth coating.
Green food coloring – To create Frankenstein’s signature hue.
Halved almonds – For fingernails.
Optional: Black icing for “stitches” or knuckle lines.
🕸️ Instructions
Melt the white chocolate:
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt white chocolate in 20-second intervals, stirring between rounds until smooth.
Color the chocolate:
Add a few drops of green food coloring and stir until evenly mixed.
Dip the pretzels:
Dip each pretzel rod about ¾ of the way into the green chocolate. Gently tap off any excess.
Add fingernails:
While the chocolate is still wet, press a halved almond on the tip of each pretzel to look like a fingernail.
Decorate (optional):
Once hardened, use black icing to draw “stitches” or cracks for an extra spooky touch.
Let them set:
Place on parchment paper until the chocolate hardens completely. Chill in the fridge for faster setting.
