Ingredients
- 24 Pretzel Rods
- 4 ounces red candy melts
- 4 ounces royal blue candy melts
- 4 ounces white candy melts
- Red, white, and blue star sprinkles
Instructions
- Melt Candy Melts: Melt each color of candy melts separately in a tall glass. Use the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring thoroughly between intervals until the candy melts are fully melted and smooth.
- Dip Pretzel Rods: Dip 8 pretzel rods into the royal blue candy melt, coating them evenly. Place these dipped pretzels on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, wax paper, foil, or a wire rack to set.
- Dip Remaining Rods: Repeat the dipping process with 8 pretzels in the red candy melts and the remaining 8 in the white candy melts. Place all on the prepared cookie sheet for setting.
- Decorate with Drizzle and Sprinkles: Using a fork, drizzle contrasting colored candy melts over the pretzel rods to create a decorative effect. Immediately sprinkle the red, white, and blue star sprinkles on top to adhere to the melted candy.
- Allow to Set: Let the dipped and decorated pretzel rods cool completely. You can leave them at room temperature for about 1 hour or place them in the refrigerator for approximately 30 minutes for quicker setting.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once fully set, serve these vibrant and festive pretzel rods as a delightful treat at your 4th of July celebration.
Notes
- Use tall glasses to melt the candy melts to easily dip the pretzel rods.
- If the candy melts become too thick while dipping, microwave for an additional 10-15 seconds to re-melt.
- Customize your sprinkles to suit other holidays or themes.
- Store finished pretzels in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain crispness.
- Be gentle when dipping to avoid breaking the pretzel rods.
