Begin by preparing your candy melts. Place about 25–30 each of red, white, and bright white Wilton candy melts into separate sandwich bags. Make sure to seal them well to prevent spills. Set these aside while you prepare to melt them.

Next, melt the candy melts by microwaving each bag for 30 seconds on high. After that, knead the bag to mix the melts. Continue to microwave in 10-second intervals, kneading in between, until melted and smooth.

While your melts are cooling slightly, lay a sheet of parchment paper on your working surface. Arrange the Rold Gold Tiny Twists Pretzels on the parchment, positioning them sideways to mimic the letter 'C' or 'E'.

With your red candy melts ready, snip a tiny corner of the bag. Squeeze the melted red chocolate onto the top of the pretzels to form Santa's hat. Allow the red candy to set at room temperature for about 10 minutes.

Now, take your bag of white candy melts and snip another small corner. Use the white melts to cover the top portion of each pretzel, forming Santa’s face. Let these sit undisturbed for another 10 minutes.

Grab your bright white candy melts for the next step. Create zigzag shapes along the edge of Santa's hat for the brim, and similar shapes at the bottom of the face for the beard. Allow these details to harden for 10-15 minutes.

For the final touch, use a toothpick to insert a small piece of the red candy into the pretzel for Santa's nose. Then, use melted chocolate chips to make his eyes above the nose.

Finally, once your Santa Claus Pretzel Bites have set and cooled completely, store them in an airtight container at room temperature.
