Servings 4 people

Equipment

  • Microwave-safe bowl
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper

Ingredients
  

  • 12 pretzel rods
  • 8 ounces green candy melts
  • 12 whole almonds

Instructions
 

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
  • Place the green candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second bursts, stirring after each, until fully melted and smooth.
  • Dip the top two-thirds of each pretzel rod into the melted candy, leaving the bottom inch plain to look like a finger base.
  • Press one almond onto the coated tip of each rod to form the nail while the candy is still soft.
  • Lay the finished rods on the prepared baking sheet and let them sit at room temperature until the coating hardens completely.

Notes

Attach the almonds right after dipping so they stick firmly. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days to keep the pretzels crisp. If the candy starts to thicken while you work, give it a quick 10-second warm-up in the microwave.
