# How to Make It:

03 - Carefully dip each pretzel rod about two-thirds of the way into the melted chocolate, gently tapping off any excess coating.
04 - Place the coated pretzel rods on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them to prevent touching.
05 - Before the chocolate sets, press two mini chocolate chips near the top of each pretzel to create eyes, then add one regular chocolate chip or a dot of black gel icing beneath for the mouth.
06 - Leave the decorated pretzels at room temperature or refrigerate for approximately 20 minutes, until the chocolate is firm.
