Equipment

  • 1 Microwave-safe bowl
  • 1 Rubber spatula
  • 1 Pastry bag or tablespoon
  • 1 sheet pan or platter

Ingredients
 
 

  • 12 ounces Candy wafers use bright white wafers
  • 1 teaspoon Coconut oil or vegetable oil (optional)
  • 24 large Pretzel rods
  • 48 small Googly eyes

Instructions
 

  • Place candy wafers in a microwave-safe bowl. Optional: add 1 teaspoon coconut or vegetable oil (this helps create a smoother consistency for dipping and drizzling)
  • Place bowl of wafers in microwave. Heat in 30-second intervals at 50% power, stirring after each heating until smooth. Take care as wafers can easily burn and seize up.
  • Dip two-thirds of each pretzel rod into the melted wafers.
  • Place dipped pretzels on a sheet pan or platter.
  • Wait 15 minutes for candy wafers to solidify on pretzels.
  • Transfer melted wafers to a pastry bag with a small piping tip. Gently reheat wafers if needed. (Note: if you don't have a pastry bag you may drizzle white chocolate over pretzels using a spoon)
  • Drizzle melted wafers over pretzels in a random pattern to resemble a mummy's bandages. Don't be concerned about 'over drizzle' - this is easily removed after the pretzels set.
  • Add two googly eyes to each pretzel.
  • Leave pretzels at room temperature and allow to dry (approximately 30 minutes) or place in refrigerator for 5 minutes.
  • Remove mummy pretzels from tray. Knock off any over drizzle. Transfer to a serving dish.

Notes

  • Storage: Place fully set pretzels in an airtight container - if stacking the pretzels, use parchment or wax paper between layers to prevent them from sticking together. Store in a cool, dry place away from heat sources. If your room is warm, place the container of pretzels in your refrigerator.
  • Candy wafers can easily burn so it is best to melt them slowly and at a low temperature. Heat the wafers in 30 second bursts at 50% power, stirring after each interval. This helps avoid hotspots that can cause burning.
