  • Once green chocolate has hardened, melt dark chocolate using the same method.
    1/4 cup high quality dark chocolate
  • One by one, remove the pretzels, and dip the top tip into the chocolate. Using a chocolate spear tool, dip it into the chocolate and pull chocolate hair "strands" down on the pretzel to make it look more realistic. Replace the pretzel on the silpat.
  • Use the spear tool to dip into the chocolate again and draw a mouth across the bottom third of the pretzel.
  • Let the chocolate harden completely, then serve immediately or remove from the silpat and place in a tightly sealed container on your counter for up to two weeks.
