Ingredients
Scale
Pretzels
- 24 pretzel rods
Coating
- 2 cups white candy melts
Decoration
- ¼ cup fall nonpareil sprinkles
Instructions
- Melt Candy Melts: Place the white candy melts in a double boiler and gently melt them while stirring occasionally to ensure a smooth and even consistency without burning.
- Prepare Work Area: Line a baking tray or sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and set a wide plate with the fall nonpareil sprinkles, making sure the plate is long enough to accommodate the pretzel rods for rolling.
- Dip Pretzel Rods: Pour the melted chocolate into a tall mug or heat-proof tall and thin glass for easier dipping. One by one, dip each pretzel rod into the melted chocolate, coating it evenly.
- Roll in Sprinkles: Immediately after dipping, roll the chocolate-covered pretzel rod on the plate of sprinkles to coat with nonpareils, then place it on the lined baking tray.
- Set the Chocolate: Repeat the dipping and rolling process for all pretzel rods. Once done, place the tray in the refrigerator and let the chocolate set completely, which will take about 10-15 minutes.
- Store and Serve: After the chocolate has hardened, transfer the pretzel rods to an airtight container to keep them fresh until serving. Enjoy your delicious, festive treats!
