Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper
  • Microwave-Safe Bowl

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. Heat them in 30-second intervals, stirring between each one, until fully melted and smooth.
  • Dip the bottom two-thirds of each pretzel rod into the melted candy. Let excess drip back into the bowl.
  • Place one almond at the dipped end of the pretzel to form the nail. Set the finished rod on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Repeat with the remaining pretzels. Allow the coating to harden at room temperature before moving them.

Notes

Press the almond firmly into the wet coating so it stays in place once set. If the candy starts to thicken while you work, warm it for 10 seconds in the microwave. Store leftovers in a single layer in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days.
