Instructions

Place the white chocolate bark in a microwave-safe bowl and add ½ tablespoon of oil. Microwave for 45 seconds. Stir the chocolate and continue to melt for 30 seconds at a time until the chocolate is completely melted.
Add a few drops of food coloring and stir, repeat until the desired orange is achieved. If you use yellow and pink, the ratio should be 2 yellow to 1 pink.
Once you get the color you want, begin dipping the pretzels into the orange chocolate, fully coating in the chocolate. Then place the covered pretzels on parchment to dry.
While the pretzels dry, melt the semisweet chocolate chips the same way you melted the white chocolate.
Once melted, add the pumpkin pie spice and mix.
Drizzle the melted chocolate all over the orange pretzels then let harden before packaging.

Notes

Tips

Melt the chocolate in short microwave intervals, stirring often to prevent overheating.
Use oil- or gel-based food coloring to avoid seizing; add a little at a time for the desired shade.
To make your own orange gel food coloring, combine equal parts red and yellow gel coloring in a small dish, then blend well until the shade is evenly mixed. Add a tiny bit more yellow for a brighter orange or a touch more red for a deeper hue, mixing thoroughly before using.
If the chocolate thickens, stir in a small amount of oil or shortening to thin it out. You should never add water.

Storage & Make Ahead

Store dipped pretzels in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week; refrigerate if the kitchen is warm.
Place parchment or wax paper between layers to keep pretzels from sticking together.
Freezing is not recommended, as condensation can cause the chocolate coating to become sticky.
