Ingredients
Scale
Monster Pretzels
- 2 cups Pretzels (any shape: rods, squares, or rounds)
- 1 cup Frosting Powder (can substitute with cream cheese or buttercream)
- 5 drops Green Gel Food Coloring
- 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice (can substitute with water if preferred)
- 1 cup Candy Eyes (homemade with edible markers and mini marshmallows optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the frosting mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the green gel food coloring, frosting powder, and lemon juice until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
- Apply frosting on pretzels: Take a tablespoon of the green frosting mixture and spread it evenly on top of each pretzel piece.
- Add candy eyes: Gently press one candy eye onto the frosted top of each pretzel to create the monster look.
- Chill to set: Place the decorated pretzels in the refrigerator for at least one hour to allow the frosting to firm up and set completely.
- Serve or package: Once set, serve the Monster Pretzels immediately as a festive treat or package them in Halloween-themed bags for gifting or parties.
Notes
- You can substitute frosting powder with cream cheese or buttercream for a different flavor and texture.
- Lemon juice can be replaced with water if you prefer a more neutral taste in the frosting.
- Homemade candy eyes can be crafted using mini marshmallows and edible markers for a fun DIY touch.
- Make sure pretzels are completely dry before frosting to ensure adherence and prevent sogginess.
- Store leftover Monster Pretzels in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days to maintain freshness.
