Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with wax or parchment paper.
- Melt the white chocolate or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
- If using food coloring, divide the melted chocolate into bowls and tint with desired pastel colors.
- Dip pretzel rods or mini pretzels into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.
- Place dipped pretzels on the prepared sheet and immediately decorate with sprinkles or candies.
- Let pretzels set at room temperature or place in the refrigerator for faster hardening.
- Once set, store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
Notes
- Use gel food coloring for best results with chocolate.
- Decorate quickly before the chocolate sets to ensure sprinkles stick well.
- These make great Easter gifts when packed in treat bags and tied with a ribbon.
