Ingredients
  

  • 20 oz white candy melts or white chocolate
  • 4 cups salted pretzel twists or pretzel rods
  • ¼ cup red candy melts
  • ¼ cup blue candy melts

Instructions

  • Prepare Workspace: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. This is where the dipped pretzels will set.
  • Melt White Chocolate: Add white candy melts to a microwave-safe cup. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and fully melted.
    20 oz white candy melts or white chocolate
  • Dip Pretzels: Drop one pretzel into the melted chocolate. Use a fork to coat it completely, then lift it out and gently tap off excess chocolate on the side of the cup.

  • Transfer to Tray: Place the coated pretzel onto the parchment-lined sheet. Repeat with remaining pretzels. If the chocolate thickens, microwave it again briefly to loosen.
  • Melt Colored Candy: Add red candy melts to a zip-top bag and microwave for 15–20 seconds until melted. Snip a small corner. Repeat with blue candy melts in a separate bag.

  • Decorate Pretzels: Drizzle red candy over the pretzels, then drizzle blue candy to create a festive pattern. Work quickly before the coating sets.
  • Set and Store: Let pretzels sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or until fully hardened. Store in an airtight container.
