Have you ever painted candy molds using colored Wilton Candy Melts®?
It is so much fun and really quite easy.
During our Fun Food Blogger's Retreat, which was sponsored in part by Wilton, we went live on Facebook showing you exactly how it's done.
During the live video, I demonstrated how to make hand-painted lollipops and candies using an assortment of Wilton Candy Molds. while the other bloggers created their own candies. Wilton has so many fun Holiday and everyday molds to choose from and we had so much fun making our treats.
When the video was over, a few of you requested I create a tutorial for making pretzel pops using Wilton's pretzel molds. We actually had a few of those molds on hand but I totally forgot to set out some pretzel rods for the bloggers to use. There's always so much going on at our retreat, especially when we are getting ready to go live, that I totally blanked.
Anyway, I wanted to make sure I got the video done so you could see how to use the pretzel molds to make these Creepy Pretzel Fingers for your Halloween parties.
You'll notice the technique for making pretzel pops and lollipops is similar only you insert a pretzel rod into the candy instead of a lollipop stick.

How far ahead of your Halloween event can you make these pretzel fingers and what's the best way to store them ahead of the event? I can't wait to make them!!
Beth
You can make them up to two months ahead of your party. They stay fresh for quite a long time. Have fun and Happy Halloween!

Love your video showing how to use the pretzel molds but I tell ya, I could not get past the gross factor to eat them! Haha!
Beth
I totally understand! My tables are filled with gross treats for our party this year. I'm sure some of my guest will be grossed out.
