Method
- Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. Divide approximately 40 mini pretzels into four groups of 10.
- Melt orange, green, white, and purple candy melts separately in microwave-safe bowls using 20–30-second intervals. Stir until smooth. Add a little refined coconut oil if necessary.
- Dip 10 pretzels into orange candy melts. Place on parchment paper. Once set, pipe triangle eyes, noses, and jack-o'-lantern smiles with black decorating icing. Add green stems if desired.
- Dip 10 pretzels into green candy melts. Add candy eyes while soft, then press black sprinkles onto the top for hair. After setting, pipe stitches and mouths with black icing.
- Create bride characters from some green Frankenstein pretzels by piping white zigzag stripes through the dark sprinkle hair.
- Dip 10 pretzels into white candy melts. Attach candy eyes, then drizzle more melted white candy over the surface in overlapping lines to create mummy bandages.
- Dip the remaining 10 pretzels into purple candy melts. Add candy eyes and Halloween sprinkles while soft. Once firm, decorate with black icing and optional white candy melt smiles.
- Allow all decorated pretzels to set on parchment paper for approximately 20 minutes until the coating hardens. Let the icing dry fully according to package directions.
- Arrange the pretzels on a serving platter or place them in an airtight container with parchment paper between layers.

Notes
Makes approximately 40 decorated pretzels. Prep time: 25 minutes. Setting time: 20 minutes. Total time: 45 minutes. Use round or sturdy mini pretzels for the best character faces. Melt candy wafers gently and stir frequently. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 1–2 weeks, depending on the decorations. Nutrition values are approximate per pretzel and assume that some coating remains unused.
