Ingredients

  • 24 Braided Pretzel Twists there’s plenty in a 12oz package
  • ¼ C. marzipan
  • 14 oz donut holes approx 28 ct, the measurements for the recipe will make about 24 treats
  • 12 oz chocolate candy melts

Instructions

  • Add about ½ tsp size ball of marzipan to the end of one pretzel twist forming it to resemble the end of a bone. 
  • Using a small knife, pierce each donut hole creating an “X.”
  • Take the end of the pretzel without the marzipan and poke into the donut hole where you created the “X.”
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt your chocolate candy melts in 10-sec intervals for a total of 1 min or 6 times. After each 10 second interval, remove the bowl and stir to allow for even melting and to avoid burning your chocolate. 
  • Holding the pretzel in one hand, spoon the melted chocolate over the donut hole until you’ve completely covered it. Place on a silicon mat or parchment paper until the chocolate has cooled.
