Ingredients

8 oz. almond bark, chopped
Green food coloring (optional)
Parchment paper
24 small twist pretzels
Green sanding sugar
Green, sour spaghetti candy cut into 1-in. pieces
72 green chocolate candies (such as M&Ms)

Directions

  1. Microwave almond bark for 1 minute. Stir well until smooth. Heat for an additional 30 seconds if necessary. Add a few drops of green food coloring and stir (optional).
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using 2 forks, dip pretzels in almond bark until completely covered. Allow excess almond bark to drip off pretzels and place them on a lined baking sheet.
  3. Before they’re dry, sprinkle each pretzel with sanding sugar, and add a piece of sour spaghetti candy as the stem. Top with green chocolate candies.
  4. Let them completely cool and dry before transferring to your serving platter.
