How To Make Apple Pretzels
Line a baking sheet with wax or parchment paper.
Add the candy melts to a microwave safe bowl, and microwave for 30 second increments, stirring well in between, until melted.
Cut the M&Ms in half.
Dip each pretzel in the melted candy, letting the excess drip off.
Place the pretzel on the baking sheet, and quickly add one halved brown M&M & one halved green M&M.
Repeat for all of the pretzels.
Important Recipe Notes
Melting the chocolate: Melt the chocolate in 30 second intervals, stirring in between each. This ensures the chocolate melts evenly and doesn’t burn.
Use a sharp knife: When cutting the M&Ms use a sharp knife to prevent the M&Ms from breaking unevenly or splitting.
