Ingredients
Scale
Pretzel Rods:
- 24 pretzel rods or mini twists
White Chocolate Coating:
- 8 ounces white chocolate or white candy melts
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother melting)
Colored Candy Melts:
- 4 ounces pastel-colored candy melts (pink, yellow, purple, etc.)
Decorations:
- Easter sprinkles or colored sanding sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the Pretzels: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Melt white chocolate or white candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. Stir in coconut oil if needed for easier dipping. Dip each pretzel halfway into the melted white chocolate and gently shake off excess. Place on the parchment-lined tray.
- Decorate with Colored Candy Melts: Melt colored candy melts in separate bowls using the same method. Use a spoon or piping bag to drizzle pastel-colored chocolate over the dipped pretzels in a zigzag pattern. Immediately top with Easter sprinkles or sanding sugar before the chocolate sets.
- Set and Serve: Let pretzels sit at room temperature until chocolate is fully set, about 30–60 minutes, or place in the refrigerator for faster results.
Notes
- Use mini pretzels for a bite-size version, or bag a few in cellophane for Easter gifts.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
