Spooky Owl Pretzels (Angry Birds)


I have a last minute, mid week, Halloween treat to share with you today.  I'm posting these super last minute, because they were totally unplanned!  I saw the idea, and had to make them right away because Halloween is tomorrow!!!!  My Hungry Puppies loved this little kitchen craft, and it was fast and easy!  A perfect craft for some last minute Halloween fun!

Spooky Owl Pretzels (Angry Birds)

8 Giant Pretzels (I used Snyder of Hanover Sourdough Hard Pretzels)
12 ounces (1/2 package) vanilla almond bark
8 Oreo Cookies, split in half
Chocolate licorice
16 white M&Ms
16 chocolate chips
8 black jelly beans

Cut the chocolate licorice into 2 1/2 to 3 inch lengths with one end cut diagonally.  With another piece of licorice, cut thin slices to use for the owl's toes.

Carefully melt the vanilla almond bark in a bowl in the microwave, heating in 30 second intervals and stirring after each until smooth.  Dip the pretzels in the white chocolate, coating them evenly.  Press 2 Oreo halves onto the top of the pretzel.  Using the white chocolate as glue, attach the white M&Ms to the Oreos, and the chocolate chips on top of the M&Ms.  "Glue" (with white chocolate) the licorice pieces at the top of the Oreos.  Press a black jelly bean in the middle between the Oreo eyes to make the nose.  Arrange the thinly sliced licorice at the base of the pretzel owl to form its toes.  Makes 8 spooky owls.  

Enjoy!  -Cardamommy
