Cover a cutting board or cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. When fully coated, place pretzels on the baking sheet.
Place the each color of candy melts in a separate microwave safe bowl. Heat one bowl at a time for 20 seconds and stir. Continue microwaving in 20 second intervals, stirring between, until melted and smooth.

Dip each pretzel twist in melted orange chocolate or orange candy melts. You can use a fork for this, a candy dipping tool (like shown in the photos) or even chopsticks.
While the chocolate coating is still wet, press the green chocolate chip onto the top of the pretzel. As the chocolate dries, it will hold the "pumpkin stem" in place.

Dip each pretzel into melted white chocolate and turn until fully coated.
Place on lined baking sheet and drizzle more melted white chocolate on top. Press two candy eyeballs into the damp chocolate coating.

Coat each pretzel in melted lime green candy melts. You could also use other fun colors like purple or hot pink!
Place the candy coated pretzels on a lined baking sheet to dry. While the coating is still wet, press a candy eyeball on top of each one.

Prep Tips

Drying Time - Allow the pretzel coating to dry completely before serving or storing, about 30 minutes - 1 hour. You can also put them in the freezer to set faster.
Storage - Keep in an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 weeks. Do not refrigerate.
