- Turn each Pretzel over, and from the leftover melted White Chocolate, place about 3 tablespoons in a small dish and 2 tablespoons in another.
- Add Pink Food Coloring Gel to the 3 tablespoons of White Chocolate in one dish, and add the Black Food Coloring Gel to the other dish.
- Using a Toothpick, add 2 Black dots to the lower space in the Pretzel for the eyes. Add a small amount of Pink for the Nose, and a little Pink Chocolate to the upper 2 spaces, creating the ears.
- Allow about 30 minutes for the Chocolate to set completely. Serve, and enjoy!
