Scale
Ingredients
- 24 pretzel rods
- 1 bag (15 oz) white chocolate chips
- 1/4 bag (12 oz) candy melts
- 1/2 cup pastel M&Ms
Instructions
- Melt the White Chocolate: Melt the white chocolate chips in a tall glass by microwaving in 30-second increments. Stir well between each interval to ensure smooth, even melting without burning.
- Dip the Pretzel Rods: Dunk each pretzel rod into the melted white chocolate, coating it thoroughly. Lay the coated pretzels on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, foil, or a wire rack to prevent sticking.
- Add the M&M Topping: Use a rolling pin to lightly crush the pastel M&Ms into smaller pieces. Sprinkle these crushed candies generously over the wet white chocolate coating before it sets to ensure they stick.
- Prepare the Candy Melts: In a microwave-safe dish, melt the candy melts by microwaving in 30-second increments. Stir thoroughly after each interval until you achieve a fully melted and smooth consistency.
- Drizzle the Colorful Candy Melts: Using a spoon or piping bag, drizzle the melted candy melts over the coated pretzel rods with M&Ms to add a decorative and vibrant finish.
- Let Them Cool: Allow the pretzel rods to cool completely at room temperature or place them in the refrigerator until the chocolate and candy melt layers are firm. Once set, they are ready to enjoy or package as festive treats.
Notes
- Be careful not to overheat the chocolate and candy melts in the microwave to prevent burning; stir frequently.
- For best results, use a tall glass to melt the white chocolate for easy dipping.
- The crushed M&Ms add texture and color but whole M&Ms can be used for a different look.
- Store finished pretzel rods in an airtight container at room temperature or refrigerated for up to a week.
- Feel free to customize toppings with other candies or sprinkles to match different holidays or occasions.
