Ingredients:

- 12 oz white chocolate or white candy melts
- Orange food coloring
- Green M&Ms
- Parchment paper
Instructions:
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate or candy melts in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. Add orange food coloring to the melted chocolate, stirring until you achieve the desired shade.
- Dip the Pretzels: Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each pretzel into the orange-tinted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Gently tap off any excess chocolate and place the dipped pretzels on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Add the Stems: Before the chocolate sets, press a green M&M into the top of each pretzel to create the pumpkin stem.
- Set and Serve: Allow the pretzels to cool and the chocolate to harden completely. Once set, serve the Pumpkin Pretzels or store them in an airtight container.
