Halloween Pretzel Sticks

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

These Chocolate-Dipped Pretzel Stick Snacks Resemble Bloody Bones

— October 16, 2015 — Life-Stages
In order to make a seemingly innocent pretzel stick snack appropriate for the Halloween season, Dylan's Candy Bar transformed the classic finger food into a set of fun 'Bloody Bone Pretzels.'

The gruesome snack is prepared by dipping half of the stick into a white chocolate coating, which is then covered in a red color to really make it look like something truly gruesome—but not at all unbearable to eat.

While it's hard to deny the convenience of purchasing a multi-pack of pretzels from Dylan's Candy Bar with the pretzel sticks already prepared for you, this would be a Halloween treat that would be just as easy for a crafty individual to recreate at home, especially with help from kids. This twist on plain pretzel snacks is a novel Halloween treat.
