Use a fork and dip the pretzels in the green chocolate one at a time. Tap off the excess chocolate and then place the pretzels onto the baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Place two candy eyes in the middle of each pretzel.

Place a piece of the pretzel stick to each side of the pretzel to create Frankenstein’s bolts. Place the candy melts in the fridge to chill to set for about 30 minutes before moving on to the next step.
8-10 pretzel sticks
After the green chocolate has set on the pretzels, place the melting wafers in a microwave safe bowl. Do the same as you did before – microwave first for 30 seconds, stir, then microwave at 20 second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is smooth.

Add the melted chocolate to a to a piping bag, zipper top plastic bag with a tiny corner cut off, or a squeeze bottle – whatever you think you can handle the best. Pipe on Frankenstein’s hair and mouth to each of the pretzels. Put the pretzels back in the fridge and allow them to chill until the chocolate is completely set.

Melting chocolate wafers - you can use these or high-quality chocolate chips
Square pretzels - also called butter snaps or snap pretzels. You can use these for the bolts or get pretzel sticks as well.
Green candy melts - I used vibrant green candy melts. You can use these or white chocolate with green food coloring and 1 tsp coconut oil melted together. If you use white chocolate chips, make sure to use a high-quality brand.
