Ingredients You’ll Need For This Recipe:
Prep time: 10 minutes
Bake time: N/A
Servings: 18-20
Ingredients:
- 2 c pretzel twists
- ½ c red candy melts
- ¼ c white fondant
- Green food coloring
Step-by-step Guide:
1 – Prep your work surface with a sheet of parchment.
2 – Tint the white fondant with the green food coloring – I recommend using gloves to prevent tinting your hands.
3 – Pinch off a small piece and shape into a triangular leaf shape. Set aside until ready to assemble.
4 – Make one fondant leaf for each apple pretzel.
5 – When ready to assemble, melt the red candy melts.
6 – Dip the entire pretzel into the melted red candy melts and coat thoroughly.
7 – Using a fork, scoop the pretzel out and tap the excess on the side of the bowl.
8 – Place the dipped pretzel on the parchment and immediately place the fondant leaf.
9 – Repeat with remaining pretzels.
10 – Allow to set until hardened, about 10 minutes.
11 – Serve and enjoy!
Pro Tips for Success:
-
Use mini pretzels for the best apple shape and easy dipping.
-
Microwave the candy melts in short bursts (15–20 seconds at a time) so they don’t burn.
-
Chill the dipped pretzels in the fridge for 5 minutes to speed up the setting time.
-
Swap in green or yellow candy melts to make Granny Smith or Golden Delicious versions.
-
Use a toothpick to shape and detail the fondant leaves if you want them extra fancy.
-
Double the batch—these go fast, and they make super cute edible gifts in little treat bags!
