First, prepare and measure out all of your ingredients. Then, go ahead and line a baking sheet with a parchment paper sheet or wax paper.Make sure the baking sheet you choose can fit flat in your freezer or fridge.I like to go ahead and pour my bag of pretzels into a large bowl for easier access when it’s time to line them out.
Next, line the candy melting pot with the Dual Melting Pot Insert. Pour the white candy melts in one side and the yellow candies in the other side. Drop in the coconut oil to both the yellow and white candies.
Melt the candies and oil together on high and stir regularly with separate heat resistant spatulas.
Then, line several rows of mini pretzels along the parchment- lined baking sheet. When the candies have completely melted, it’s time to begin spooning the melted candy onto the pretzels.
Spoon the melted candy onto the pretzels 2 at a time, then immediately drop the Mini Candy Eyeballs into place before the candy has a chance to start hardening. Repeat this process until all pretzels are coated, then transfer them to the fridge for 10-15 minutes.When spooning the yellow candy onto the pretzels, lift up your spoon from the chocolate to create a little peak where the little duckling wing will go.Half of these pretzels should be yellow for the ducklings and the other half white for the bunnies.
Next, using a regular insert, melt the orange candies with some coconut oil in the candy melting pot.
Melt them together on high and stir regularly with a heat resistant spatula.
Then, transfer the melted orange candy to a piping bag and tie it off with a piping bag tie. Cut ⅛ inch from the tip of the bag for easy drizzling.
Carefully use the piping bag of orange candy to draw little beaks onto all the yellow duckling pretzels. Then, rinse out the lining of the melting pot and repeat the candy melting process with the pink candy melts and coconut oil. Transfer the melted pink candy to another piping bag, just the same way, and use the pink candy to draw out the bunny ears and noses on the white candied pretzels.
Let the candied pretzels harden in the fridge again for 10 minutes. Finally, after the candy has hardened completely, use the Black food pen to draw whiskers on the bunnies. Now you are ready to serve and enjoy!

Notes
I specifically like using my candy melt pot over all other melting methods, including the microwave, for all of my candy- making projects. It keeps the chocolate at the perfect temperature through the whole process without ever overcooking the chocolate. Plus the silicone lining is super easy to clean, especially since there are no overcooked bits of candy to try and scrape off later.
