Steps

    Line work surface with cooking parchment paper. In small bowl, mix powdered sugar and 4 to 5 teaspoons orange juice, mixing to desired dipping consistency. Dip each granola bite into glaze, coating top and sides, shaking excess off and leaving bottom of granola bite unglazed. Sprinkle with orange nonpareils. Place on parchment paper.

    Let stand 15 minutes. With tip of toothpick, poke tiny hole on top of each granola bite; carefully add pretzel stem. Using photo as a guide, decorate with fruit snack leaves and gel as desired.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Take care when inserting pretzel into granola bite to avoid crumbling. It may help to poke a hole using a toothpick, and use some of the glaze on the tip of each pretzel to help stick to granola bite.
  • tip 2
    May also use Nature Valley™ protein soft baked blueberry almond granola bites.
  • tip 3
    Use your creativity when decorating. If desired, add food color to the glaze for more orange color.
  • tip 4
    Candy melts are great alternative for dipping the pumpkin bites. Use orange candy melts, and microwave as directed on package. Dip each granola bite, allow to set, and decorate as desired.
