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:

• Place 3/4 cup white chocolate chips in a glass bowl along with 1/2 tsp coconut oil.Microwave on high for 1 minute. Let sit in the microwave for an additional minute. Stir gently, then return to the microwave for 15 seconds, if needed.Divide chocolate and add green coloring to one of the bowls and stir gently.Dip each pretzel into the bowl of chocolate, gently tapping the edge of the bowl to release excess chocolate.Lay the covered pretzel down on a piece of wax paper. Use a small knife to clear the chocolate from the bottom hole of the pretzel, which will be the Alien mouth.Place the semi sweet chocolate in a small baggie. Microwave for 40 seconds, or until melted. Cut the corner of the bag and pipe chocolate into the top 2 pretzel holes, filling in the alien eyes. Place round candies on top of chocolate.Repeat this process with the remaining white chocolate chips. You can leave them white and use this chocolate to fill in the eyes of the green alien pretzels, or you can separate it and color some chocolate orange to decorate the eyes. Let completed pretzels cool to set.Repeat the process until you have the desired amount of alien pretzels, re-heating up the chocolate as necessary. Store in an airtight container to save.Source: butterwithasideofbread.comRecipe formatted with the Cook'n Recipe Software from DVO Enterprises.

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.
