Time 1h20m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

80 pretzel sticks
2 cups white candy melting wafers
1/2 cup Halloween sprinkles
Chocolate spiders, optional

Steps:

  • Line two sheet pans with parchment paper.
  • In sets of 8, arrange the pretzel sticks into the spokes of 10 webs, with the centers touching and the outer edges spaced.
  • Melt the melting wafers according to the package instructions, approximately 2 minutes in a microwave or 3 to 5 minutes over a double boiler. Transfer to a piping bag and cut the tip to create a small hole.
  • Pipe a small amount of the melted candy onto the center of each web where the pretzels meet; this will hold the webs together. Then pipe a web pattern by starting in the center and spiraling out to the edges. Go around the outer edges a couple times to create a firm border. Carefully spoon over the sprinkles. Repeat with the remaining webs.
  • Place chocolate spiders in the center, if using. Let set 1 hour.
