- Dip the pretzel twists in melted candy, allowing excess to drip back into the bowl. Place the pretzels on waxed paper until dry.
- Dip Oreo cookies in melted candy, allowing excess to drip back into the bowl. Place the cookie on waxed paper and immediately add the Lifesaver candy as a halo. Allow to dry completely.
- Melt chocolate candy according to package directions making sure not to overheat. If the candy gets too hot, it will seize. If desired, add 1 teaspoon vegetable shortening or coconut oil to make the melted candy pourable.
- Using a toothpick, draw two half circles on each of the cookies to be the eyes and a larger dot as the mouth. Allow to dry completely.
- Pipe frosting on each cupcake using an open star tip. Sprinkle with sparking sugar. Place one angel head on the top and two pretzels to the opposite sides of each cupcake.
