Pumpkin Pretzels

Happy Halloween friends!
This week has been filled with Halloween festivities and events, many which called for me bringing treats!  I love this time of year!  October is almost over, November is upon us and that means Christmas is in the air!  Lots of parties and events are coming!  I found this recipe on Pinterest and just HAD to make some pumpkin pretzels this week!

Super easy!  Here we go!

 Ingredients
1 bag of pretzels (they call for minis, but I just used the regular size)
1 bag of M&Ms (you only need the green ones!)
orange food coloring (I mixed my own color up and it wasn't as dark as I wanted, but it worked)
1 bag of white chocolate chips or white baking chocolate 10oz
1 tablespoon of shortening (I used Crisco)
wax paper

Directions
Melt the chocolate with the shortening in the microwave for 1 minute. (I just plopped the dollop of Crisco on top of the chocolate chips)
Stir
Heat for an additional minute.
Stir and add orange food coloring

Dunk the pretzels in the chocolate.  You have to just use your hands and go for it.

Place on the wax paper and immediately place your green M&M for the stem.

Let these cuties dry and enjoy!
