Spooky Halloween Pretzel Toffee | Nik Snacks

Calling all Halloween candy lovers! If plain candy bars aren’t cutting it for your spooky soiree, now you can up your Halloween game with this quick, easy and ghoulish Spooky Pretzel Toffee Bark. 

I've never been a fan of Halloween. Okay, let me be real: I hate Halloween. And I feel strongly against observing it in my real life. I'd rather sit at home in the dark watching horror films while listening to random acorns roll across my roof. But sometimes when the party calls, you have to answer it and bring a snack with you. And this is the best last minute snack EVER. 

On October 31st delight your kids and friends with this fun and seasonal Halloween candy bark. The "eyes" have it out for this Spooky Pretzel Toffee Bark recipe. It is crispy, salty yet chocolatey, and definitely delicious. It makes a great treat or snack for the Halloween season! 

How to customize your Spooky Halloween Pretzel Toffee

• It’s the perfect Halloween treat that adults and kids will love! 

• Add seasonal decorations and sprinkles for other holidays, like butter mints, gummies and jellies. 

• Score the brittle with a sharp knife or pizza cutter right when it comes out of the oven. It will make for easier/cleaner breaking after it dries. 

The setup is simple: butter and brown sugar for the homemade toffee, crushed pretzels topped with semisweet chocolate chunks and sour gummy worms. But perhaps the real highlight of this creepy confection is the beady eyeballs that stare back at you. (Hint: I found these candy eyeballs at my local grocery store.) Talk about EYE CANDY!

Don’t let these candies be your last stop on this treat train. Feel free to sprinkle the chocolate with chopped nuts, crushed  potato chips or more pretzels for added crunch. Spooky never tasted so sweet.
