Ingredients
10ouncesyellow Candy Melts(or white candy melts and yellow candy coloring)
75pretzel rounds
150mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
black food coloring marker
Instructions
Pour candy melts into a microwave-safe bowl.
Heat on high power for 30 seconds, then stir.
Heat for another 30 seconds, then stir.
Then heat for 20 seconds, then let the candy coating sit in the microwave for 2 minutes, then stir.
If all the wafers have not melted, heat for 10-second increments, stirring after each until melted.
If using white candy melts, stir in some yellow candy coloring.
Set a piece of parchment paper on a baking sheet.
Arrange the pretzel rounds on the baking sheet.
Pour a few tablespoons of the yellow candy coating into a zip-top bag, and snip off one tip making a small hole.
Pipe the yellow candy coating into a few of the pretzels, then immediately, place two mini chocolate chips in the wet coating to create the smiley face’s eyes.
Continue filling pretzels and adding chocolate chips.
Pop the tray in the freezer for about 3 minutes until the candy coating hardens.
After you remove the pan from the freezer, allow the pretzels to come to room temperature for about 10 minutes, then use a black food coloring marker to draw on smiles.
