Scale
Ingredients
- 12 pretzel rods
- 1 cup white chocolate or candy melts (pastel colors optional)
- Assorted Easter sprinkles
- Colored sugar
- Mini candy eggs or decorations (optional)
- Parchment or wax paper for setting
Instructions
- Prepare the workspace: Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper to set the dipped pretzel rods.
- Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate or candy melts in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.
- Dip pretzel rods: Dip each pretzel rod about halfway into the melted chocolate. Use a spoon to help coat the rods if needed and allow excess chocolate to drip off.
- Decorate immediately: Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle the dipped portions with Easter-themed sprinkles, colored sugar, or press mini candy eggs onto the coating for added decoration.
- Set the pretzels: Place each coated pretzel rod on the prepared baking sheet. Let them cool and harden at room temperature or refrigerate for 10–15 minutes until firm.
- Store: Once set, store the pretzel rods in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
Notes
- You can use colored candy melts to create a pastel variety or drizzle different colors over the dipped rods for extra decoration.
- Kids can easily help with dipping and decorating for a fun holiday activity.
