1. Prepare the Pretzels:

• Lay out the pretzel rods on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

2. Fill with Peanut Butter:

• Using a butter knife or spatula, spread peanut butter onto one end of each pretzel rod, about 1-2 inches. This will be the “bone” end.

3. Chill:

• Place the peanut butter-covered pretzels in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes to let the peanut butter firm up.

4. Melt the Chocolate:

• In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. If using, stir in coconut oil for a smoother consistency.

5. Coat the Pretzels:

• Dip each chilled pretzel rod into the melted chocolate, covering the peanut butter end. Use a fork to lift it out and let any excess chocolate drip off.

6. Add Candy Eyes:

• Before the chocolate sets, place two candy eyes on the chocolate-covered end of each pretzel to give them a spooky face.

7. Drizzle (Optional):

• If you want to add a decorative touch, melt some white chocolate or candy melts and drizzle it over the coated pretzels.

8. Chill Again:

• Return the coated pretzel bones to the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to let the chocolate harden.
