Alien Pretzels Halloween Treats Recipe 465

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with waxed paper. Arrange pretzels on the waxed paper. Working with one color at a time of the candy melts, melt as directed on package. Spoon it into a plastic ziptop sandwich bag then snip off one corner and pipe into top holes of desired number of pretzels. (I did 4-5 of one color at a time.) Gently place a M&M (or other small candy) in the centers of the piped candy. Repeat steps for the other pretzels, working with one color of candy melts at a time or the mixture will harden too quickly to pipe. Allow time for the candy to set.

Steps:

• In a microwave, melt baking chocolate; stir until smooth. Dip each pretzel halfway into chocolate allowing excess to drip off. Place on waxed paper; let stand until set., In a microwave, melt candy coating disks; stir until smooth. Dip pretzel tips into coating allowing excess to drip off; sprinkle with jimmies. Let stand until set. Store in an airtight container.

Steps:

• Melt each batch of chocolate chips in separate bowls, either in the microwave or set over a pan of simmering water. If melting in the microwave, heat each batch on high in 30-second bursts. Leave to cool until thick.
• Dip a third of the pretzels into the white chocolate, a third of the pretzels into the dark chocolate and the remaining pretzels into the milk chocolate, then lay them all out on a sheet of baking parchment.
• Add edible eyes to each pretzel (three eyes looks extra spooky). Leave to set, then peel carefully off the paper. Will keep in an airtight container for up to a week.
