Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 36 mini pretzels
- ¾ cup white chocolate chips or orange candy melts
- ½ tsp coconut oil or shortening (omit if using candy melts)
- Orange food coloring
- 36 green chocolate M&M candies
Instructions
- Prep: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside to catch the dipped pretzels as they cool.
- Melt Chocolate: Place white chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe glass bowl. Microwave on high for 1 minute, then let sit for another minute. Stir gently, and if needed, microwave an additional 15 seconds until the chocolate is smooth and melted. If using candy melts, omit the coconut oil. Add orange food coloring to the melted chocolate and stir until evenly combined to achieve a vibrant orange color.
- Dip Pretzels: Using a dipping tool or fork, dip each mini pretzel into the orange melted chocolate, gently tapping the bowl’s edge to remove excess chocolate. Place the coated pretzel on the prepared baking sheet.
- Add Stem: Immediately press one green chocolate M&M candy into the top indent of each pretzel on its side, so it stands upright like a pumpkin stem.
- Set: Allow the dipped pretzels to cool and the chocolate to harden for 30 to 60 minutes at room temperature. If the chocolate thickens before finished, gently reheat it to maintain a smooth consistency for dipping.
