Ingredients
  

  • 12 pretzel rods
  • ½ c. of red candy melts
  • ½ c. of white candy melts
  • ½ c. of blue candy melts
  • 2 tbsp. of patriotic sprinkles

Instructions
 

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This is where you will lay the dipped pretzels to set.
  • Work with one color at a time. Place ½ cup of candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at 50% power or on the defrost setting for 30 seconds, then stir. Continue microwaving in 15-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the candy melts are fully melted and smooth.
  • Dip one pretzel rod into the melted candy, tilting the bowl and using a spoon to help cover the pretzel evenly. Coat about half the length of the pretzel rod or as much as you like. Gently shake off any excess candy melt before placing the pretzel rod on the parchment paper.
  • While the candy coating is still wet, sprinkle the patriotic sprinkles over the pretzel. You can sprinkle them by hand or roll the wet, candy-coated section of the pretzel rod in a bowl of sprinkles for fuller coverage.
  • Allow the candy melts to harden completely at room temperature, which should take about 15-30 minutes. For quicker setting, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes.
  • Serve the pretzel rods once the candy melts have set. If not serving immediately, store them in an airtight container at room temperature to keep the pretzels from becoming soft.

Notes

  • Melt and dip one color at a time to prevent the candy coating from setting too quickly.
  • Use a spoon to help coat the pretzels evenly for a smoother finish.
  • Add the sprinkles immediately after dipping so they adhere to the coating.
  • Refrigerate the pretzels for about 10 minutes if you need them to set more quickly.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature to keep the pretzels crisp.
