Ingredients
- 1 12 oz package lavender/purple candy melts
- 1 12 oz package green candy melts
- 1 12 oz package pretzel rods (approx 20)
Instructions
- Line a large tray or baking sheet with wax or parchment paper.
- Place some lavender/purple candy melts into a disposable piping bag (or Ziploc food bags). Melt the candy in the microwave in 30-second increments (or according to package), squishing gently to distribute the heat and aid melting. Once melted, cut a small/medium size tip.
- Using the lined baking sheet, pipe purple teardrop/pointed fingernail tip. Make 20 nails, with a few extras in case of breakages. Pipe some small circles to resemble warts, you'll need 3-5 per pretzel. Leave to dry/set.
- Melt the green candy melts in a microwave-safe container, in 30-second increments in the microwave stirring in between.
- Pour melted candy into a tall container to dip the pretzel rods about two-thirds - use a spoon to help cover if required. Shake gently to remove the excess candy.
- While the candy is still wet, place a fingernail at the top of the pretzel rod and place the candy warts where you like. Repeat with the remaining pretzel rods. Leave to dry/set.
- Enjoy and Happy Halloween!
Notes
Melt the chocolate/candy melts in a microwave-safe container or food bag, in 30-second increments in the microwave (or according to package directions) giving special care not to overheat the candy as it will become too thick. If the candy is too thick, add vegetable shortening or coconut oil in 1 teaspoon increments, up to 1 tablespoon, and stir well. Do not add water or any other type of liquid as the candy will seize and harden and be unusable.
