02 - Thread a mini pretzel rod through three pretzel rounds—two plain for the body and one yogurt-covered for the head. Press mini chocolate chips into the head for eyes and buttons. Attach a carrot triangle as the nose and wrap a thin red bell pepper slice around the neck as a scarf. Optionally, use an edible marker to draw a mouth.
