Chocolate Covered “Pumpkin” Pretzels
The first recipe Rosanna shares is that of chocolate covered pumpkin pretzels.
.
What you’ll need:
- Orange melting chocolates
- Bag of mini-pretzels
- Green M&M’s
- Squeeze bottle
To start, melt the melting chocolates in a bowl, and pour half of it into a squeeze bottle. Then submerge each pretzel in the bowl of chocolate, using a fork to let the excess chocolate drip off (as shown above). Place onto a tray lined with wax paper and squeeze chocolate into the pretzel’s holes. Lastly, put a green M&M at the top of each pretzel to complete the “pumpkin” look.
“Frank-O-Mole”
Rosanna also demonstrates how to make this Halloween themed chip-dip that she likes to call “Frank-O-Mole”.
Ingredient list:
- 3 avocados
- 1 bag of blue chips
- Sour cream
- 1 Red onion
- 3 limes
- 4 garlic cloves
- Black olives
This dip can be made by hand or with a food processor.
- Add the cloves, 2 tablespoons of freshly squeezed lime juice, and 1/4 cup of chopped red onions. Mix them together.
- Slice up the avocados and add them to the mixture. Mix until you get your desired texture.
- Place guacamole on a plate in the shape of a rectangle. Use sour cream and olives to create Frank-O-Mole’s eyes, mouth, nose, and ears.
- Stack blue chips at the top of the plate to create the appearance of hair.
