HAUNTED HOOTING OWL PRETZELS

Here is another creative snack to make for the kids.  Adorable spooky, chocolate-dipped pretzels are a hoot to make.

To make, follow these steps:

-Dip large pretzels in melted confectioner's coating. Place the pretzels on waxed paper.

-As the coating sets, sprinkle with coarse black decorating sugar.

-Press a black jelly bean onto the twist of each pretzel for the nose, and small pieces of licorice candy onto the base of the pretzels for the talons.

-Separate a sandwich cookie and press the halves onto the pretzel for eyes.

-Ice white candy pieces and press onto each cookie eye, then add chocolate chips to them for pupils.

Use black licorice twists as eyebrows.
