Description
Delicious and festive no-bake pretzel rods decorated with white, red, and blue candy melts, perfect for a 4th of July celebration.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 pretzel rods
- 16 oz white candy melts
- ¼ cup red candy melts
- ¼ cup blue candy melts
- Patriotic Sprinkles
- 2 tbsp red, white, and blue jimmies
- 2 tbsp red, white, and blue nonpareils
- 2 tbsp red, white, and blue star sprinkles
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet or large tray with parchment paper.
- Place white candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth.
- Dip each pretzel rod into the melted candy coating, covering approximately ¾ of the pretzel. Twirl gently to remove excess coating and place on prepared parchment paper.
- Immediately sprinkle generously with patriotic jimmies, nonpareils, and star sprinkles before the coating sets.
- Melt red candy melts in one small bowl and blue candy melts in another. Transfer each color to a small piping bag or zip-top bag and snip a tiny corner. Drizzle red and blue lines across the coated pretzels.
- Allow pretzels to harden completely at room temperature or refrigerate for 15–20 minutes.
- Serve.
Notes
- Ensure the coating is applied before it sets for better adhesion of sprinkles.
- Store leftover pretzel rods in an airtight container at room temperature.
- Feel free to customize sprinkles for other festive occasions.
