Hilarious (and simple) Screaming Pretzels

Do you know "The Scream" paintings by Edvard Munch? These paintings are the inspiration for these adorable screaming Halloween pretzels. Aren't they cute? They are also super-easy to make.

To make these simple treats:

1) Melt baker's chocolate according to the package directions. I melted mine in the microwave at 50% power for 1 minute, stirred the chocolate, and then melted it for another minute. I also added a little bit of vegetable (canola oil) to make the dipping a little bit easier.

2) Dip the pretzels in the melted chocolate, and lift the pretzel out of the chocolate with a fork. (This will allow the chocolate to empty out of the "mouth hole".

3) Place the chocolate dipped pretzels on a piece of wax paper, and add candy eyeballs.

4) Allow the chocolate to harden, and then remove the treats from the wax paper.

These screaming pretzels are simple to make, they are adorable, and they taste great. Do you think your kids would like these festive Halloween treats? My boys love them!
