Ingredients
- 40 mini pretzel twists
- 12 oz orange candy melts
- 40 mini green M&Ms or green sprinkles
- 1 tsp vegetable shortening (optional, for thinning)
Instructions
- Melt orange candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
- If needed, stir in vegetable shortening to thin the coating.
- Dip each mini pretzel twist into the melted candy using a fork, allowing excess to drip off.
- Place coated pretzels on parchment or wax paper.
- Before the coating sets, press a green M&M or green sprinkle into the top center of each pretzel to resemble a pumpkin stem.
- Let pretzels set at room temperature or chill in the fridge until firm.
Notes
- Use white chocolate with orange food coloring as an alternative to candy melts.
- Add a pinch of pumpkin spice to the candy coating for extra flavor.
- Let excess coating drip before setting to avoid mess.
- These are great for kids to help make and decorate.
- Store in a cool, dry place to avoid stickiness.
