Instructions

1. Place 25-30 of Red, White and Bright White in sandwich bags.
2. Melt the candy melts in the microwave.  Start with 30 seconds, open the microwave and then check the candy melts. Massage the melts around in the bag. Then continue to melt at 10 second intervals until they are all completely melted.
3. Don't melt all three of the colors at once.  Start with the red, you will need that first.
4. Lay out the mini pretzels on a piece of foil or parchment paper.  Place the pretzel on its side like a "C" or an "E".  Snip off a very tiny piece on one of the bottom corners of the plastic sandwich bag.  Squeeze the melted red candy melt mixture into the top hole of the pretzel.  After that is filled, cover the top area to form the Santa Hat.
5. Work assembly line style and create all all the Santa Hats and allow them to dry before moving on to the next step.
6. Now melt the white candy melts.  You will use those for the Santa face.  The contrast between the white and bright white might feel slight but it is noticeable in the finished Santa Claus Pretzel Bite. Snip a tiny corner of the sandwich bag and squeeze out enough white candy melt mixture to cover the top portion of the remaining uncovered area of the pretzel as shown in the picture above. Allow this candy to cool and harden before moving on.
7. Now it is time to melt the Bright White Candy Melts.  You will use them to create a white brim for Santa's hat his beard Add the brim of the hat over the bottom of the red hat and the top of the face area.  Use a single sweeping motion.  At the end of the hat, move down next to the right side of the face until you get to the bottom of the pretzel. Now zig zig back and forth to create some dimension for the beard.  Stop when you meet the brim of the Santa Hat on the left hand side. Make a small swish of candy melts out from the center to the left hand side for Santa's mustache. Repeat going the other way for the other side of his mustache.
8. Repeat on all the Santa Claus Pretzel Bites.  Don't worry.  It's easy enough!
9. When Santa's beard has hardened.  Use a toothpick to add a red nose in the middle of the mustache area.
10. Finally, melt a handful of chocolate chips and use a toothpick to make two small eyes on the face area directly above the red Santa nose.
