- Dark Green Candy Melts Candy, 12 oz.
- Vibrant Green Candy Melts Candy, 12 oz.
- Orange Candy Melts Candy, 12 oz.

Instructions
- Melt Candy Melts: Begin by melting the Candy Melts wafers in assorted colors. Set aside 12 to 15 wafers for decorating the emoji faces later. Separately melt the orange and black candy melts in dipping containers, thinning them with the EZ Thin Dipping Aid to achieve smooth consistency suitable for dipping.
- Dip Pretzel Rods: Dip pretzel rods individually into the melted black and orange candy melts. Immediately after dipping, cover the pretzels with assorted Halloween-themed sprinkles to ensure a festive appearance. Place the coated pretzels onto a wax paper-covered cake board and chill in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes until the coating is fully set.
- Prepare Candy Details: Melt small amounts of dark green, white, black, and red candy melts. Transfer each color into separate parchment cones with a fine tip cut at the end. This will allow precise piping of details onto the emoji faces placed on parchment paper-covered cake boards.
- Decorate Emoji Faces: Using the prepared parchment cones, pipe facial features such as eyes, mouths, and other expressions onto the reserved Candy Melts wafers. After decorating, chill the faces in the refrigerator for about 5 minutes to set the details.
- Assemble Pretzel Treats: Pipe a small amount of melted candy melt on the back of each decorated wafer face and carefully attach it to the top of each coated pretzel rod. Chill the assembled pretzel treats in the refrigerator for another 5 minutes until the faces are securely set.
Notes
- Use wax or parchment paper when chilling to prevent sticking.
- Thin the candy melts carefully with the EZ Thin Dipping Aid to get a smooth coating consistency without making it too runny.
- Work quickly when dipping and sprinkling as the candy melts harden fast.
- Store finished pretzel treats in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for longer freshness.
- Customize emoji faces with different colors or sprinkles to fit your Halloween theme.
