Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 24 pretzel rods
- 1 bag (15 oz) white chocolate chips
- 1/4 bag (12 oz) pastel-colored candy melts
- 1/2 cup pastel M&Ms
Instructions
- Melt the White Chocolate: Place the white chocolate chips in a tall microwave-safe glass and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each to achieve a smooth, even melt without burning.
- Dip the Pretzel Rods: Fully coat each pretzel rod by dipping it into the melted white chocolate. After dipping, lay the rods on a parchment paper–lined cookie sheet or use foil or a wire rack to prevent sticking.
- Add the M&M Topping: Lightly crush the pastel M&Ms using a rolling pin to create smaller pieces. Sprinkle these generously over the wet white chocolate coating before it sets, ensuring good coverage.
- Prepare the Candy Melts: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the pastel candy melts in 30-second increments. Stir thoroughly after each interval until the mixture is completely smooth and melted.
- Drizzle the Colorful Candy Melts: Use a spoon or piping bag to drizzle the melted candy melts artistically over the pretzels coated with white chocolate and M&Ms, adding a colorful and decorative finish.
- Let Them Cool: Allow the pretzel rods to cool and set completely at room temperature or place them briefly in the refrigerator until the chocolate layers are firm. Once set, the Easter Pretzel Rods are ready to enjoy or gift!
Notes
- Use a tall glass for melting the chocolate to easily dip the pretzel rods fully.
- If the chocolate hardens while dipping, reheat briefly in the microwave.
- Crushing the M&Ms helps them stick better and adds texture to the coating.
- Store pretzel rods in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- These treats can be customized with different candy colors for other holidays or themes.
