Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 bag pretzel rods
  • 1 bag white candy melts
  • 1 bag red candy melts
  • 1 bag blue candy melts
  • 1 bag Patriotic sprinkles (optional)

Method
 

  1. Melt your candy melts in the microwave. Use 20 to 30 second intervals. Stir until they are smooth.
  2. Dip each pretzel rod about three-quarters of the way in. Give it a little shake to remove any excess. Set it on parchment paper.
  3. For the flag design, dip the tip in blue after the white layer has set.
  4. Use the red and white melts to create stripes over the pretzels. Decorate them however you like.
  5. Let them set completely before serving. You can arrange them in jars or cups for a cute look.

Notes

Recipe Notes

  • Work Fast: Keep your workspace cool so the candy sets firmly and stays smooth.
  • Get Creative: Use sprinkles while the coating is still wet so they stick properly.
  • Storage: Keep these in an airtight container in a cool, dry place to prevent them from getting soft.
