Ingredients
Instructions
  1. In a glass bowl, melt the white chocolate in the microwave using the defrost mode for about 2 minutes. Remove from the microwave and stir the white chocolate until it is smooth. If needed to completely melt the chocolate, microwave for a little more time.
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper.
  3. Dip each pretzel rod into the white chocolate coating about halfway. Gently remove any excess chocolate and place the pretzel rod on the baking sheet. Repeat with all the pretzel rods.
  4. Place the baking sheet in the fridge for about 5 minutes to harden the chocolate.
  5. In 2 separate small glass bowls, place the blue candy melt in 1 bowl and the red candy melts in the other bowl. Microwave using the defrost mode for about 4 minutes (just like the white chocolate). Remove from the microwave and stir until smooth. If needed to completely melt the candy, microwave for a little more time.
  6. Get 2 sandwich bags. Using a spatula, put each color into a separate sandwich bag.
  7. Once the 2 colors are in their own sandwich bag, cut a tiny tip off of the corner of each sandwich bag using scissors to make a little hole for squeezing out the melted candy.
  9. Take out the pretzel rods from the fridge and squeeze out the blue and red melted chocolate to make stripes across the pretzel rods.
  10. Once complete, put the pretzel rods back in the fridge for 5 minutes to harden. Remove and Celebrate!
