Prep Time: 5 minutes
Decorating Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes
Ingredients
- ¼ cup black frosting
- 24 blanched almonds
- 12 large pretzel rods
- 12 oz bright green candy melts
- 2–5 tbsp refined coconut oil (or shortening)
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare the almonds: Brush or dip the almonds in black frosting. Place them on a baking sheet to dry.
- Melt the candy melts: Combine green candy melts and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat at 50% power, stirring every 30 seconds until fully melted.
- Prepare the pretzels: Break pretzel rods in half if necessary. Dip each pretzel rod in the melted candy melts, ensuring it’s coated well, and place them on a second baking sheet.
- Attach the almonds: While the candy melts are still soft, press a black almond onto the tip of each dipped pretzel rod.
- Add details: Use a toothpick to gently create finger-like knuckle lines in the candy coating.
- Set the fingers: Refrigerate for 10–15 minutes or until the candy melts have hardened.
Pro Tips
- Melting candy melts: Add more coconut oil if the melts are too thick for dipping.
- Frosting alternatives: Use black candy melts to dip the almonds instead of frosting for a smoother finish.
- Quick prep tip: Prepare the almonds and candy melts ahead of time to make assembly faster.
