Pour melted and tempered milk chocolate or melted light cocoa candy melts into a tall glass.

Dip pretzel into the chocolate, lift it out, shake it, and allow excess chocolate to drip back into the glass.

Holding the pretzel rod, allow the chocolate to set until it thickens for about 30 seconds and then press a fork onto the pretzel, lift up, pulling away the chocolate, creating spikes.

Continue doing this, adding more chocolate if needed, until the entire pretzel looks furry.

If using pure tempered milk chocolate, refrigerate the pretzels for about 4-5 minutes.

If using confectionery coating (Candy Melts) place in the freezer for 2-3 minutes.

Roll your light, medium, and dark brown modeling chocolate out on a silicone mat using a fondant roller.

Use 3 sizes of round plunger cutters to make the snout, nose, and ears.

Cut large circles out of light brown. Pinch into an oval for the snout.

Cut small circles out of dark brown. Attach to the top of the snout using water, for the nose.

Use a toothpick to create dimples around the nose on the snout. Make 3 dimples on each side.

Cut large circles out of medium brown for the outer ears.

Cut medium circles out of the light brown for the inner ears.

Attach the light brown circle to the medium brown circle using water.

Fold the ears around a toothpick, giving them shape.

Pinch off small pieces of medium brown and roll into arms. (Make them thicker than mine!)

Press a toothpick into the end of the arms, creating fingers.
