Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup candy corn
- 1 cup pretzel sticks
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
- Create a double boiler by filling a medium saucepan with about 1 inch of water and placing a heat-safe glass bowl on top, ensuring the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water.
- Heat the water to a gentle simmer and add chocolate chips to the glass bowl, stirring continuously until completely melted and smooth.
- Remove the melted chocolate from heat and let it cool for 2-3 minutes to prevent burning the marshmallows.
- Add mini marshmallows to the melted chocolate, gently folding to coat them evenly.
- Break pretzel sticks into smaller pieces and sprinkle them over the chocolate-coated marshmallows.
- Scatter candy corn on top of the mixture, creating a festive Halloween-themed appearance.
- Using a spatula or spoon, gently mix all ingredients to ensure even distribution of chocolate, pretzels, and candy corn.
- Spread the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, creating clusters or a single large sheet that can be broken into pieces later.
- Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 5-7 minutes to allow the chocolate to set quickly.
- Remove from refrigerator and break into bite-sized pieces if not already clustered.
- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Tips
- Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best melting and flavor.
- Work quickly when mixing to prevent the chocolate from hardening too fast.
- For a more uniform look, use a spoon to create small clusters instead of one large sheet.
- Keep the treats chilled until serving to maintain their crisp texture.
- For extra Halloween flair, consider using orange and black sprinkles or Halloween-themed candy decorations.
- Make sure your utensils and bowl are completely dry to prevent chocolate from seizing.
- Let kids help with decorating for a fun family Halloween activity!
