These Monster Pretzel Hugs are an easy Halloween treat, perfect for parties and is made with just three ingredients – pretzels, Hershey’s Hugs and candy eyeballs!
I love chocolate and pretzel treats. The combination of sweet and salty is just perfect, in my humble opinion. So, when I first tried a pretzel hug, it was over.
We love making fun holiday themed treats so a Halloween pretzel hug version was a must! If you like Halloween treats make sure to try our Monster Marshmallow Popcorn or our Perfect Caramel Apples! Or you can find our entire Halloween gallery here!
Pretzel Hugs
This Halloween version with candy eyeballs makes a cute little monster treat that tastes amazing. It’s also really fun to make with kids and perfect for any Halloween party!
The hardest part of making these is unwrapping all of the hugs. So what I’m saying is, it’s not hard at all! It can take a while though if you’re making the whole bag, which is about 70 pieces! You’ll be surprised how quickly the whole batch will disappear…

So cute! How far in advance can you make these for a party?
I’m not sure. I’d say at least a day or two before – they should be fine if you store them in an air-tight container!
So cute and so simple! Kids will LOVE this for Halloween!
Oh snap! These are soooooo adorable! What a great idea for Halloween. Love this recipe!
