Line a baking sheet or large tray with parchment paper. Set it aside.
Melt the candy melts according to the package instructions.
Dip the pretzels into the candy, fully coating them, then place them onto the parchment-lined tray. Use a fork or chopstick to hold the pretzels as you dip them.
Place an M&M candy at the top, center of each pretzel to make the stem of the pumpkin.
Allow the candy coating to set. You may place the tray in the refrigerator to help speed the process.
Place several pumpkin pretzels in cello bags to hand out, or place them on a serving platter for the Halloween dessert table. Enjoy!
