Fourth of July Pretzel Sticks
Ingredients
- Large pretzel rods (we used 12)
- Candy melts in red, white and blue (about ½ cup of each)
- Sprinkles in red, white and blue
Instructions
- To make these pretzel rods, you are going to want to start with one color at a time. We started with blue. Melt your blue candy melts and then spoon them onto half of your pretzel rod.
- While your candy is still melted, generously sprinkle a large amount of the blue sprinkles to cover the candy completely.
- Make sure to catch the sprinkles on a plate, as you will be using quite a bit to cover your pretzels. You can then pour these sprinkles back into a small bowl to pour over your next pretzel rod.
- Now place your candy dipped, sprinkle covered pretzel rod on a piece of wax paper to dry.
- Repeat with a few pretzel rods until you have enough of your blue color.
- Now repeat steps 1-4 using your red candies.
- Now repeat steps 1-4 using your white candies.
- To make the tri-colored, red white and blue pretzel rods use the white candy melts and cover with a mixture of your red, white and blue sprinkles.
- Allow all of your pretzel rods to dry thoroughly. About 1 hour.
