Easy Snowman Pretzels

Now, before you just grab your pretzels and start making, let's talk about materials here. You may be wondering why we're not using melted chocolate chips instead of the candy melts.

Frankly, it's because candy melts are easier to get to melt more smoothly and, when you're using them, they have a longer working time. So, since you're putting the chocolate in a piping bag and having to manage building all your little snowmen, having that extra time to work with the chocolate is very helpful.

So, grab your fruit rollups and let's get making some snowmen snacks!

What You Need to Make Snowman Pretzels

• 24 Pretzel Rings
• 1 cup White Candy Melting Chips
• 3-4 Fruit Roll-Ups
• ¼ cup Dark Chocolate Melting Chips or Mini Chocolate Chips
• 1 Orange Starbursts

How to Make Snowman Pretzels

1. Cut Starburst into 3 rectangular strips (¼" x ¾") 
2. Cut each of those in half, creating 6 - ¼" x ⅜" rectangles.
3. Now cut each of those diagonally creating 12 triangles for noses.
4. Unroll Fruit Rollup and cut into ½" strips to use as scarves.
5. Line cookie sheet with wax paper.
6. Heat White Candy Chips by microwaving for 30 seconds stirring and repeating until melted.
7. Transfer to corner of zippered bag and clip tiny piece off of corner to pipe.
8. Lay scarf on prepared sheet and pipe a small dot of candy in the middle. 
9. Place 2 rings so they are just touching at that spot as pictured. 
10. Pipe additional candy on top to better secure them.
11. Fill the inside of each ring with white candy.
12. Place nose in upper ring.
13. If you are using mini chocolate chips for eyes mouth and buttons you need to place them at this time before candy sets. If you are using melting chips you will pipe these on after the white sets.
14. Fold scarf over to hide the joint.
15. If you are using dark melting chips, heat them by microwaving for 30 seconds stirring and repeating until melted. Transfer to corner of zippered bag and clip tiny piece off of corner. Pipe eyes, mouth and buttons.
