Ingredients
  

Base
  • 2 cups Pretzels Consider gluten-free pretzels for a dietary-friendly option.
Coating
  • 1 cup Candy Coating (Orange) Swap white chocolate with orange food coloring for a vibrant alternative.
Decoration
  • 1/2 cup Green Candy or Sprinkles Alternatively use chocolate pieces or coconut shavings.

Equipment

  • Microwave-safe bowl
  • Parchment Paper
  • Tray

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Begin by breaking your orange candy coating into small pieces and placing them in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until fully melted and smooth—this should take about 1-2 minutes.
  2. Once your candy coating is melted, grab your pretzels. Dip each pretzel into the melted candy, ensuring it is fully coated, then gently shake off any excess. Place the dipped pretzels on a parchment-lined tray.
  3. While the coating is still warm, immediately press a piece of green candy or a sprinkle onto the top of each pretzel.
  4. After decorating your pretzels, let them sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes for the candy coating to harden.
  5. Once the candy coating is firm, transfer your Mini Pretzel Pumpkins to a serving platter.
