July 4th Candy Coated Pretzel Sticks

These firecracker candy coated pretzels are awesome. Made with simple candy melts and chocolate coating, this is one holiday treat that everyone can help with. 

And isn’t that such a great idea? Letting everyone make their own chocolate coated pretzels? They’ll love being able to dip the pretzels so that they are coated in “just” the right amount of chocolate. 

The hardest part will probably be watching them dry on the parchment paper!
