Witch Finger Pretzels

Equal parts creepy and crunchy, these are the treat adults keep sneaking from the kids’ table. Press the almond “fingernail” on while the chocolate is still wet so it sets firmly in place.

Makes 20 fingers · 30 minutes

Ingredients

• 20 pretzel rods
• 8 oz dark chocolate, chopped
• 1 teaspoon coconut oil
• 20 sliced almonds

Instructions

1. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
2. Melt the chocolate with the coconut oil in a heatproof bowl over simmering water, stirring until smooth. Transfer to a tall glass for easy dipping.
3. Dip each pretzel rod about three-quarters deep, letting the excess drip off.
4. Before the chocolate sets, press a sliced almond onto one end as the fingernail, pointed tip facing out.
5. Stand the rods upright in a tall glass or lay flat on the parchment. Chill 15 minutes until firm.
