Prepare the beaks:

• Cut each Starburst into 3 rectangular strips (1/4″ x 3/4″).
• Cut each strip in half, creating 6 pieces (1/4″ x 3/8″).
• Cut each of those pieces diagonally to create 12 triangles for the beaks.
• Repeat with the other Starburst, making a total of 24 beaks.

Arrange the pretzels:

• Lay the pretzels out on a wax paper-lined cookie sheet.

Melt the candy:

• Heat the yellow candy melting chips by microwaving for 30 seconds, stirring, and repeating until fully melted. Allow it to cool for 2-3 minutes.

Shape the chicks:

• Transfer the melted candy to a zippered bag and clip a tiny piece off the corner.
• Pipe the candy over the inside of each pretzel, forming the shape of a chick. Smooth with your finger if necessary.

Add the features:

• Place a mini chocolate chip for each chick’s eye and a Starburst triangle for the beak.

Set the candy:

• Place the cookie sheet in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to allow the candy to set and harden.
