orange M&Ms, cut in half

Instructions
Mix peanut butter, butter, brown sugar and powdered sugar in mixer until smooth. Set aside in refrigerator to cool.
Melt white chocolate and dip 1/2 a Pretzel Thin while holding onto bottom of pretzel. Sprinkle with yellow, orange, red or gold sprinkles. Then dip other side of pretzel and sprinkle with different colored sprinkles. Place on parchment paper and then refrigerator to set.
Melt brown chocolate and dip a 1/4 of Pretzel Stick into chocolate. Place onto parchment paper and immediately place candy eyes and 1/2 M&M for nose. Place in fridge to set.
Remove peanut butter mixture from refrigerator and make 1-inch balls. Dip into melted chocolate and place onto parchment paper. While chocolate is still wet, place head into pb ball and then press finished pretzel wing onto back of ball. (I broke off 1/4 of Pretzel Stick to make neck a little shorter and be more proportionate to size of body)
Once all parts are placed onto chocolate cover peanut butter balls, place into refrigerator to set. Serve when chocolate is completely set.
