Ah, my all time favorite season… FALL!
All things pumpkin, what’s not to love!? 🙂
Here is an easy fun recipe that is sure to have everyone saying awwww & YUM at the same time!
So adorable and they couldn’t be easier!
I love the combination of sweet & salty, its perfect.
Little M&M’s as the ‘stem’ – seriously CUTE! You can use some green frosting to make little ‘vines’ but they are just as cute as is 🙂
Don’t you just love simple? Â Melt Chocolate, color, then dip! Â Just a few simple steps and you have yourself an amazing little treat that would be the hit of a Fall/Halloween party! You have to remember that when heating your white chocolate that you need to be careful not to over-melt it, then it will be grainy, which you do not want. Â You can either do the microwave method or the double boiler, either is fine, but both need to be monitored carefully.
Pumpkin Pretzels!
Ingredients
- 1 bag mini pretzels- this makes a lot
- 1- 2 bags M&M candy, only using the green ones
- Orange food coloring, I used about 1/8th tsp of Wilton's gel colors
- 1 bag White Chocolate chips, melted slowly - I used Ghirardelli
- 1 Tablespoon shortening- this thins out the chocolate- don't substitute
Instructions
- Depending on which chocolate melting method you are planning on using, either way, it needs to be done VERY slowly, to ensure you don't end up with grainy melted chocolate.
- Melt the chocolate over medium heat, stirring constantly, trust me it melts extremely fast so don't leave it, even for a second.
- Once it begins to melt, remove from heat and stir, once completely melted add in your orange coloring and shortening
- Same idea, heating only for 30 second spans, removing and mixing until fully melted
- The shortening thins out the chocolate just enough so that it isnt so thick while you are dunking each pretzel
- Use your fingers to dunk each one, this method works the best, seriously
- Once they are coated, take each one and place on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper
- While it's still wet, take a green M&M and set it in the very top center of each pretzel
- Now it's a cute little green stem.
- Putting the cookie sheet in the fridge for just 10 minutes and they will be perfectly set to either put in a snack bowl or great to wrap them and send them in to school with the kids!
- ENJOY!
