Ingredients
1 packet (7 oz / 200 g) small crunchy pretzels
10 oz (290 g) orange chocolate or candy melts
1/4 cup green chocolate candies (such as M&Ms)
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Melt the orange candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring until smooth.
- Dip each pretzel fully into the melted orange chocolate, coating well.
- Lift the coated pretzel with a fork, letting excess chocolate drip off.
- Place the coated pretzels on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Before the coating sets, press one green candy at the top of each pretzel to form the pumpkin stem.
- Repeat with remaining pretzels.
- Let pretzels sit at room temperature or refrigerate for 10–15 minutes until chocolate hardens.
Notes
Use white chocolate tinted with orange food coloring if candy melts aren’t available.
For extra flavor, drizzle dark chocolate over the coated pretzels.
Green candy melts can be used instead of M&Ms for a flatter stem.
Sprinkle with sea salt before the coating sets for a salty-sweet variation.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
