Melt the white chocolate melts according to package instructions, making sure it’s nice and smooth.
Dip each pretzel rod into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. I like to give them a little twist to get an even layer.
Place the coated pretzels on a parchment-lined baking sheet and allow them to set until the chocolate hardens. You can pop them in the fridge for a quicker set!
Once the chocolate has set, use the black decorating icing to create a spiderweb design on each pretzel. Just go for it; imperfection adds character!
Attach candy eyes to complete the spider look. You can use two for each pretzel to make it look extra spooky.
Allow the icing to dry before serving. This will ensure your spiderwebs stay intact and look fabulous!

Substitutions & Additions

If you want to mix things up a bit, here are some fun suggestions:

Try using dark chocolate melts instead of white for a richer flavor.
Add some sprinkles to the wet icing for an extra festive touch.
For a healthier version, consider using yogurt-covered pretzel rods instead.

Tips for Success

Be sure to let the chocolate coating set completely before adding the icing. This will help your designs look sharp!
If you’re in a hurry, using a microwave to melt the chocolate works perfectly, just be careful not to overheat it.
These spiderwebs can be made ahead of time and stored for a few days, making them ideal for party prep.
