WITCH FINGER PRETZELS

Steps:

• Melt the Candy Melts or white chocolate chips per package directions
• if using white chocolate chips, add candy food coloring until you get the desired color.
• Dip the pretzel rods in the melted candy then place on a cooling rack, waxed paper or parchment paper.
• Let the candied pretzel rods dry 15 seconds then press a slivered almond into the tip to resemble a fingernail.
• Allow the fingers to partially dry, then use a toothpick to "draw" knuckles on the fingers.
• Let them dry and harden completely, then place in an airtight container until ready to serve.
• *To speed up the hardening process, place the fingers in the refrigerator for a few minutes.
• Enjoy!

WITCHES' BROOMS

Steps:

• Cut each piece of string cheese in half so you have 2 shorter sticks. Working one at a time, make 4 cuts vertically in one end of the cheese sticks, stopping about 3/4 inch from the top. Roll the cheese so the cuts are not parallel to the cutting board, and make 2 or 3 more cuts to form the bristles of the broom. Press a pretzel stick into the uncut end of the cheese stick to make the handle. Tie a chive in the middle of top (uncut) end of the cheese stick; this holds the broom head together. Repeat for the remaining brooms.
• Spread the mustard haphazardly on the bottom of a black or white plate. Stand the brooms up on their bristles as if they are sweeping up the mustard.

WITCHES' FINGERS

Steps:

• In a microwave, melt candy coating; stir until smooth. Dip broken ends of pretzel rods in coating; allow excess to drip off. Place on waxed paper; press a jelly bean half onto dipped end of each pretzel to resemble a fingernail. Let stand until candy coating is almost set. Using a toothpick, make lines on each pretzel to resemble knuckles.
