Ingredients
½
cup
Caramel Bits
6
ounces
colored candy melts
melted
6
pretzel rods
candy eyes
assorted candies, sprinkles
optional
food coloring markers
Instructions
Pour caramel bits into a microwave safe bowl.
Heat on medium power for 30 seconds.
Remove and stir.
Heat on medium power for 20 seconds.
Let sit in microwave for 2 minutes.
Remove and stir until melted.
If needed, heat for 10 second increments, stirring after each until melted.
Note: Don't allow the caramel to get too hot because it will harden like hard candy. You just want to warm it until it's spreadable.
Spread caramel over three quarters of a pretzel.
Immediately roll caramel coated pretzel in chopped nuts or toffee bits.
Repeat, with 5 more pretzels.
Freeze pretzels for 5 minutes.
Spoon candy melts over caramel coated pretzel.
Immediately decorate using candy eyes, candies and sprinkles.
Freeze for 3 minutes until candy coating hardens.
Allow pretzels to sit at room temperature for a while before adding details with food coloring markers and then packaging.
