Instructions
Preparation
- Start by gathering all your ingredients and measuring them out as specified.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate melts in 20-30 second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Take each mini pretzel and dip it halfway into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.
- Place the dipped pretzels on wax paper to cool, maintaining their shape as the chocolate sets.
- While the chocolate is still soft, place a piece of candy corn on each dipped pretzel and let set for 10-15 minutes.
Making Rice Crispy Treats
- Melt the butter and marshmallows together in a medium saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently until smooth.
- Remove from heat and mix in the rice crispy cereal until fully coated.
- Transfer the mixture into a greased pan and press down firmly to create an even layer. Let cool for at least 30 minutes.
- Cut the cooled rice crispy treats into squares.
Finishing Touches
- Melt the white chocolate similarly to the chocolate melts.
- Drizzle over the cut squares and add sprinkles while the chocolate is still warm.
