I love foodie fun like these adorable 'pumpkins'!!
I've seen this recipe in many varieties, changing ingredients or process. And maybe you have too...I first saw them at Pinterest, and finally settled on making them after I found some orange candy melts on sale! =)

So...I didn't have to add the food coloring.
Sweet and Salty is always a wonderful combo.
Add E-Z to that and you've got a winning recipe!!
These are fun little treats to help celebrate fall!! Some of them look like Jack-O-Lanterns, don't you think??
(I did add more crisco after taking this photo...mixture was too thick).
Before melting the chocolate, I added water to crockpot and turned on high til it was steaming, then I turned it to low and placed my glass bowl on top to keep the chocolate runny, after it was melted.

Add food coloring if necessary - red & yellow or 1/8 tsp. orange food gel
Dip pretzels with a fork; remove excess by tapping on edge of pan; rest 'pumpkins' on a cookie sheet lined with waxed paper.
Immediately place a green M & M (or Skittle) sideways at the top of the pretzel. Let stand until chocolate sets up.
