Pretzel Witch Wart Fingers

Directions

Line 2 cookie sheets with wax peper.

Melt the green candy melts over a low-medium heat on the stovetop in a double boiler; pour into a tall glass.

Dip each pretzel rod into the melted green candy melts; allow excess to drip off into the glass; place the pretzels on the prepared cookie sheet. Allow the pretzels 1-2 minutes to dry.

Transfer the pretzels to the second prepared cookie sheet to insure that they won't dry in a puddle of candy melts.

While the candy melts are still wet, place a sliced almond onto the top of each pretzel rod; push the sliced almond into the candy melts a bit to create a cuticle.

While the candy melts are still slightly wet, take a toothpick and draw lines onto the witches fingers to create knuckles. Add green sprinkles while the candy melts are still wet to create warts, if desired.

Once the candy melts have completely dried, paint black food dye onto the sliced almonds. Allow the food dye to dry completely before serving.
