  1. Melt the green Wilton candy melts or white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals until smooth.

  4. Draw knuckles with a toothpick while the coating is still tacky for detailed design.
  5. Let Witch Finger Pretzels cool completely. Optionally refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to harden the coating.
