Main Ingredients

Instructions
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prepare your work surface.
- Melt the milk chocolate according to the package directions using either a microwave or a double boiler.
- Dip each mini pretzel twist halfway into the melted chocolate, letting any excess drip off.
- Place the dipped pretzels on the lined baking sheet and, while the chocolate is still wet, attach two candy eyes and one red M&M for the nose.
- Continue with the remaining pretzels, using a small amount of melted white chocolate as "glue" if the milk chocolate begins to set.
- Refrigerate the pretzel bites for 10-15 minutes until the chocolate is completely set before serving.
Notes
For best results, work quickly when attaching the candy eyes and M&Ms before the chocolate sets. If you don't have melting wafers, chocolate chips work well, but you might need to add a teaspoon of coconut oil to help with consistency. These make a great edible craft for kids during the holidays!
