Halloween Candy-Melt Ritz Snacks (Printable Version)
# What You'll Need:
→ Base
01 -
Ritz crackers, approximately 36 pieces
→ Candy Coating
02 -
Candy melts, assorted colors (black, orange, white), 300 grams total
→ Decorations (optional)
03 -
Halloween-themed sprinkles or edible glitter, to taste
# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 -
Place candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat on medium power in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly after each interval, until completely melted and smooth.
02 -
Dip each Ritz cracker into the melted candy, turning to coat evenly. Allow excess coating to drip off and transfer coated crackers onto wax or parchment paper.
03 -
Once the base coating is set, melt additional colored candy melts. Drizzle or pipe contrasting designs over the crackers to create festive Halloween patterns such as spider webs, mummy wraps, or pumpkin faces.
04 -
While the designs are still wet, sprinkle decorative sugars or edible glitter over the crackers for extra festive appeal.
05 -
Allow crackers to dry fully at room temperature or refrigerate briefly for quicker setting. Once dry, arrange on a serving platter or store in an airtight container.
# Helpful Notes:
01 -
Ensure candy melts are heated gently to avoid burning; stirring frequently results in a smoother finish.
02 -
Use room temperature crackers to prevent the coating from seizing and ensure an even layer.
03 -
Store finished crackers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
