Ingredients

12 mini pretzel twists
100 g orange candy melts
12 green candy-coated chocolate pieces

Method

Line a small tray with parchment. Melt the orange candy melts in a dry microwave-safe bowl according to the package directions, stirring frequently until smooth.
Dip each pretzel into the coating with a fork. Lift it out, tap off excess and clear the holes with a toothpick if needed. Set on the lined tray.
While the coating is still soft, press one green candy-coated chocolate piece into the top edge of each pretzel to make a stem. Refrigerate for about 15 minutes, or until the coating is firm. Serve once set; store in a covered container in a cool place.
