Ingredients
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 60 pretzel sticks (amount needed will vary; suggest purchasing a 16 ounce bag)
- 1 tube Black writing gel
- 20 M&Ms Halloween "Ghoul's Mix"
- 3 teaspoons coconut oil
Instructions
- Line a baking or cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Position pretzel sticks like the spokes in a wheel for as many webs as you can fit on a cookie sheet. I'd suggest no fewer than 8 pretzels for stability. I often use a dozen or more. Form a circle with them with the ends of all the pretzels meeting in the center.
- Place 1 cup of the chocolate chips and 3 teaspoons of coconut oil in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 20 seconds. Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave and stir. Continue microwaving and stirring in 20 second increments until the chips are melted.
- Fill your piping bag or zip-top bag with the melted chocolate pressing it down into the bottom or into one corner. The easiest way to do this is to place the bag into a cup and fold the sides down over the cup. Scoop the melted chocolate into the bag and pull up the sides to close. If using a ziplog bag, cut a tiny snip off of one corner.
- Drizzle the melted chocolate in a circular motion to form the web, placing an extra dollop in the center to hold the pretzel ends together.
- Place a dollop of melted chocolate where you want to make a spider. Add an M&M on top and use black writing gel to draw on the legs.
- Place in the refrigerator to allow the chocolate to set up for 2-4 hours or, if you're in a hurry, place them in the freezer for one hour.
- After the webs have set up and the chocolate is firm, very carefully remove them from the parchment paper using a thin, flat spatula. Store them loosely in a large container with a tight fitting lid. I find it helpful to place a sheet of parchment between each layer of treats.

Notes
- Store in a tightly closed container with parchment paper between layers of spiderwebs.
- Can these be made gluten-free? I don't specialize in any particular dietary needs, but it's my understanding that there are gluten-free brands of pretzels available. My research also shows that all the Nestle brand chips (except butterscotch) are gluten free.
