Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 24 pretzel rods about 7 inches each
  • 20 oz green candy melts about 3 cups
  • 1 tsp coconut oil
  • 24 whole blanched almonds for the fingernails
  • 1 tbsp black candy melts melted (for knuckle lines)

Equipment

  • Large baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Heatproof bowl
  • Toothpick

Method
 

  1. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Melt the green candy melts with the coconut oil in a heatproof bowl set over simmering water (or in 30-second microwave bursts), stirring until completely smooth.
  3. Dip each pretzel rod fully into the green candy, turning to coat, letting the excess drip back into the bowl. Lay on the parchment.
  4. While the coating is still wet, press one almond onto the top tip of each rod, pointed end facing out, as the "fingernail."
  5. Dip a toothpick in the melted black candy melts and draw 2–3 short knuckle lines across each finger.
  6. Chill 10 minutes until set. Serve on a Halloween platter!

Notes

  • Press the almond on while the coating is still wet.
  • Melt the candy over simmering water or in 30-second microwave bursts.
