Creepy Candy Corn Clusters
| Ingredients | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Candy corn | 2 cups |
| Mini pretzels | 1 cup |
| White chocolate chips | 1 cup |
| Dark chocolate chips | 1 cup |
| Halloween sprinkles | Optional for decoration |
Instructions:
- Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. This will prevent the clusters from sticking and make clean-up easier.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and dark chocolate chips separately. Microwave each bowl on medium power for 30 seconds. Stir the chocolate, then continue to microwave in 15-second intervals until fully melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate as it can burn easily.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the candy corn and mini pretzels. Gently fold the mixture together to guarantee the candy corn is evenly distributed among the pretzels.
- Combine with Chocolate: Pour the melted white chocolate over the candy corn and pretzel mixture. Use a spatula to fold everything together, ensuring that the candy corn and pretzels are well-coated in the white chocolate.
- Form the Clusters: Using a spoon or your hands, scoop out small amounts of the mixture and drop them onto the prepared baking sheet. Shape them into loose clusters, about 2-3 inches in size.
- Drizzle with Dark Chocolate: If desired, you can drizzle some melted dark chocolate over the clusters for an added touch. Use a fork to create a zig-zag pattern over the top of each cluster.
- Add Sprinkles: If you want to make your clusters even more festive, sprinkle some Halloween-themed sprinkles on top while the chocolate is still wet.
- Let Set: Allow the chocolate to cool and harden completely. This may take about 30 minutes at room temperature, or you can speed up the process by placing the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes.
- Serve or Store: Once the clusters are set, carefully remove them from the parchment paper. You can serve them immediately or store them in an airtight container for up to a week.
