  • Total Time: 1 hour

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 bag of pretzel twists (about 1012 oz)
  • 1 cup orange candy melts or chocolate chips
  • 1 cup green candy melts or chocolate chips (for stems)
  • Edible eyes (optional, for decoration)
  • Parchment paper

Instructions

1. Prepare Your Work Area:

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to place the dipped pretzels on.

2. Melt the Orange Candy:

  • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the orange candy melts (or chocolate chips) in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.

3. Dip the Pretzels:

  • Dip each pretzel twist into the melted orange candy, making sure it’s fully coated. Allow any excess to drip off before placing it on the parchment paper.

4. Create Pumpkin Faces (Optional):

  • If desired, place edible eyes on the coated pretzels while the candy is still wet to create little pumpkin faces.

5. Chill to Set:

  • Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes to let the chocolate set.

6. Melt the Green Candy:

  • In another microwave-safe bowl, melt the green candy melts (or chocolate chips) in the same way as before.

7. Add the Stems:

  • Using a fork or a piping bag, drizzle the melted green candy onto the top of each orange-coated pretzel to create the pumpkin stems.

8. Chill Again:

  • Return the pretzel pumpkins to the fridge for an additional 10-15 minutes to set completely.
  • Prep Time: 20 minutes
