Prep 20 min · Cook 4 min · Total 34 min · Makes 24 pretzels

Ingredients
- 1 recipe Bird's Nest Rolo Pretzels
- 1/4 cup + 2 Tbsp powdered sugar
- 1 Tbsp butter, softened
- 1 tsp milk
- Yellow and red gel food coloring
- 1 Tbsp semi-sweet chocolate chips
Directions
- Make the Bird's Nest Rolo Pretzels as directed. In a small mixing bowl, mash together the powdered sugar, butter and milk with a fork, then stir until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Add yellow and red food coloring to turn the mixture orange, using more yellow than red, and mix until the color is even. Spoon it into a small ziploc bag, then use scissors to cut a tiny opening from one corner. Pipe little beaks onto the blue Sixlets.
- Place the chocolate chips in a small microwave safe bowl and heat them at 50% power in 30 second intervals, stirring each time, until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Use the tip of a wooden toothpick to paint eyes on the Sixlets. Store the Baby Birds Nest Pretzels in an airtight container, arranged in a single layer.
