- Food coloring (green, orange, purple, and black)
- Halloween-themed sprinkles (bats, pumpkins, or stars)
- Edible candy eyes

- Decorate: While the chocolate is still wet, add sprinkles, candy eyes, or drizzle contrasting chocolate for spooky designs.
- Set and cool: Let the pretzels harden on parchment paper for about 15-20 minutes, or place them in the fridge to speed up the process.
