Components.

Three 4-ounce bars semisweet chocolate.
1 tablespoon little orange, purple and green nonpareil sprinkles.
60 snap square pretzels.
60 milk and white chocolate swirl sweets, such as Hershey's Kisses (from a 10.6-ounce bag).
60 to 70 small sweet eyes (depending upon the size of the sweets).

Instructions.

Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a quarter sheet pan (9 by 13 inches) with parchment paper.

Location the chocolate bars on the ready sheet pan side by side. Bake till the chocolate has actually softened and simply melted, 4 to 5 minutes.

Spread with a balanced out spatula into a smooth, even layer. Right away top uniformly with the sprays. Place the pretzels on top, so they're touching and covering the chocolate entirely (6 by 10 grid; 60 overall). Top each pretzel with a chocolate sweet.

Return to the oven and bake till the chocolates are softened, about 3 minutes. Do not overbake. The chocolate sweets will establish a skin and the white chocolate might turn brown if overbaked.

Right away press 1 to 2 sweet eyes onto the top of each chocolate candy. Refrigerate up until hardened, a minimum of 1 hour and up to 4 hours. Break into pieces before serving. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
