- Long pretzel sticks (broken in half)
- Black fondant

Recipe Tips
If you don’t have green candy melts, you can also use white chocolate colored with green food coloring.
For an extra crunch and flavor, you can add crushed pretzels to the melted candy before dipping the pretzel sticks.
When working with black fondant, keep your hands slightly damp to prevent it from drying out too quickly.
You can also use sliced almonds for the fingernails.
How to Store
Store any leftover witches fingers pretzels in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze them for longer storage, just make sure to thaw them before serving.
