Ingredients

Orange and Black Wilton Candy Melts

Pretzel Twists

Toothpicks

Lime Tootsie Rolls

Instructions

Chop lime flavored tootsie rolls into small pieces. Mold with fingers to form pumpkin stems.

Melt orange candy melts in a microwave safe bowl. Heat in 30 second intervals, stirring well in between until chocolate is completely melted.

Dip pretzels in chocolate, covering generously. Place on cookie sheet lined with wax paper. Fill in entire pretzel with melted chocolate.

Add eyeballs and tootsie roll stems to each pumpkin pretzel while chocolate is still warm.

Place in refrigerator to cool. Remove when chocolate is completely hardened.

Melt black candy melts according to directions above. Using a toothpick give each of your little pumpkin pretzels a unique personality by adding silly faces. I think my favorite has to be the little vampire pumpkins we made – aren’t they cute!?

Place pretzels in refrigerator again to cool. Once the black chocolate has completely hardened, remove from refrigerator and they’re ready to eat!

This batch of pumpkin pretzels disappeared quickly at our house and my kiddos are already asking when we can make some more!
