Halloween Candy Bar Pretzels are easy to make with mini candy bars sandwiched between pretzels. A spooky treat perfect for Halloween parties!
Candy bar pretzel bites are one of my go-to holiday treats. They are easy to make and easily customizable for any occasion.
When I found some spooky eyeball sprinkles at the store recently, I knew I had to make a Halloween version. My son took these to a bonfire to share with friends, and there weren’t any leftovers.

How To Make Halloween Candy Bar Pretzels
Step One: Bite-Sized Candy Bars
Start with a package of bite-sized candy bars.
The package I used contained 3Musketeers, Milky Way, and Snickers (I didn’t use the Twix bars). You can also try Reeses Peanut Butter Cups, Hershey’s Kisses, and Rolos.
Unwrap one candy bar for each pretzel bite you want to make.
Step Two: Square Pretzels
Spread the pretzels out on a rimmed baking sheet in a single layer.
When making a large number of these Halloween candy bar pretzel bites, start with only a portion of the pretzels and do the rest in batches.
I like using the square checkerboard-shaped pretzels to make candy bar pretzel bites. They are the perfect size for the bite-sized candy bars.
Step Three: Assemble
Put one bite-sized candy bar on each pretzel.
Step Four: Bake To Soften
Bake at 300° for about 3 minutes to soften the candy bars.
Step Five: Make a Pretzel Sandwich
Working quickly, press another pretzel onto the top of the softened candy bar.
You’ll want to press hard enough to squish the pretzel into the softened chocolate but not so hard that you break the pretzel in half.
If the top pretzel won’t stick because the chocolate cooled too much and started to harden, return the candy bar topped pretzels to the oven to soften again before continuing.
Step Six: Dip The Pretzel Bites
Melt white candy coating or vanilla almond bark in the microwave according to the instructions on the package.
Dip the candy bar pretzel bites in the candy coating.
Place the dipped treats on a piece of parchment paper on a baking sheet or on a silicone mat.
Step Seven: Sprinkles
Immediately top with Halloween sprinkles before the candy coating hardens.
Allow the candy coating to harden and set before removing from the pan.
