Notes
Candy Melts; We used Pumpkin Spice flavored candy melts, found at Michaels, but you can use any flavor you like. Orange, black, green, and purple vanilla flavored candy melts are easy to find in most stores or on Amazon and make a fun Halloween presentation.
Hair Monster: I used eyeballs on the face and then dipped the top of the pretzel in the black sprinkles to look like a hairy monster!
Witch Fingers: I used candy corn on the ends of the pretzel sticks to look like a finger nail and added sprinkles for color.
Storage: You can store these once they are completely dry. Store them in an air tight container or bag in the fridge for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
