Ingredients

Bag square or oval pretzels (half the bag or more) I like Snyder's Snap Pretzels for this, however anything similar will work
12 oz white candy melts I like Wilton Candy Melts best, they melt the best in my experience.
1 cup chocolate chips more or less
red jimmies

Instructions

This is a super loose recipe. You can make just a small amount or a ton. Ingredient quantity depends on how many you are making.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat your oven to 300 degreed F.
Fill your parchment paper lined baking sheet up with the pretzels. I like to filp them all to the same side (you can tell).
One by one, add a candy melt to the center of each pretzel.
Bake for 3-5 minutes, just until the candy melt gets shiny. You do NOT want them melting through the pretzel.
Quicklt pop a chocolate chip int the center of the cany melts. Pressing just until its in and secure. Quickly place red jimmies on every eye, giving the illusion of bloodshot eyes.
Allow them to set in a cold garage or room or fridge. Once set, store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

In my experience Wilton Candy Melts are the best. With that being said I have not tried every brand. Back when I came up with these 20 years ago, the only brand available was Wilton. The imitators (and allll the colors) came years later. Some of the newer brands are really waxy (in my opinion) and take longer to melt. Plus some of the newer brands clump together making it almost impossible to break them apart to place on the pretzels, almost like they melted in transit.
