What kind of Pretzels to use for spider legs

To make the spider legs super easy use round pretzels and cut them in half. I found a big package of round pretzels at my grocery store, but you can also find round pretzels here.

There are a two different ways you can make these spiders. You can leave the pretzels plain for an even faster donut spider or you can dip the pretzels in melted chocolate.

Chocolate Covered Pretzels

Making the legs with chocolate covered pretzels is one additional step, but because I love chocolate pretzels, it is worth it for me. And I love that the chocolate legs of the spider match the chocolate donut.

I use melted chocolate flavored coating to dip the pretzels, such as this Almond bark or Candiquik or Wilton Candy Melts, but feel free to use whatever melting chocolate you prefer. Melted chocolate chips would probably work too.

1. Melt the chocolate in a microwave safe bowl in 30 second increments until melted and smooth. Be sure to stir in between 30 second increments so it doesn’t burn.
2. Dip the pretzels, scrape most of the chocolate off the bottom of them and place onto a cookie sheet with parchment paper to harden.
3. Place pretzels in the refrigerator to harden.

4 Ingredients to Make Chocolate Spider Halloween Donuts

1. Mini Chocolate Donuts
2. Round Pretzel Rings, cut in half
3. Chocolate Candy Coating, Melted
4. Candy eyes

How to Assemble Chocolate Spiders

• With a sharp knife cut the pretzel rings in half, each half will be one leg of the spider. Cut enough for each spider to have eight pretzel legs.

• Melt the candy coating according to package directions, dip each pretzel half in the melted candy and set on parchment paper to completely dry. 

• Stick the pretzels into the chocolate donuts to make the legs of the spider.

• Dip each candy eye in a little candy coating and stick on the front of the donut. 

Enjoy these adorably creepy donut spiders at your next Halloween party!
