Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 36 mini pretzels
- ¾ cup white chocolate chips or orange candy melts
- ½ tsp coconut oil or shortening (optional, if using white chocolate chips)
- Orange food coloring
- 36 green chocolate M&M candies
Instructions
- Prep: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside for placing the dipped pretzels later.
- Melt chocolate: Place the white chocolate chips and coconut oil in a glass bowl. Microwave on high for 1 minute, then let it sit in the microwave for 1 additional minute. Stir gently. If needed, microwave again for 15 seconds until fully melted. If using candy melts, omit the coconut oil. Add orange food coloring to the melted chocolate and stir until evenly combined.
- Dip pretzels: Dip each mini pretzel into the orange chocolate, tapping the bowl edge gently to remove excess chocolate. This is easier with a dipping tool. Lay each coated pretzel on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Add stems: Place one green chocolate M&M candy into the top indent of each pretzel on its side to resemble a pumpkin stem.
- Set chocolate: Allow the chocolate to cool and harden for 30-60 minutes at room temperature. Reheat chocolate as necessary during dipping to maintain smooth texture.
Notes
- These festive pumpkin pretzels are perfect for Halloween parties and make a fun treat for kids.
- Use orange candy melts for easier melting without adding coconut oil.
- Reheat the chocolate carefully to avoid burning or seizing.
- Store the finished pretzels in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain crispness.
