Melt the candy melts according to package instructions. When I am covering pretzels I like to melt my candy melts in a cup making it easy to dunk the rods into.

Prep your counter while the candy is melting. Place a piece of parchment paper on the counter. Pour a pile of sprinkles for rolling your dipped pretzels in.

Once the candy is melted, cover the end of your pretzel rod.

Working quickly, roll your pretzel rod in the fall sprinkles.

Place the rod on the parchment paper to harden.

Fill your mason jar with brown candy.

Cut out an orange triangle (beak) and a red wavy shape (wattle).

Hot glue eyes, beak and wattle to the jar.

Once the pretzel rods have hardened, push them into the candy in the jar.
