Instructions
- Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Melt the candy melts in the microwave using short 20-second bursts of heat, stirring between each burst until melted and smooth. Transfer the melted chocolate to a tall, narrow glass for easier dipping, if desired.
- Hold a pretzel rod by one end and dip into the melted chocolate or use a spoon to spoon the melted chocolate over the pretzel rod, covering it about 3/4 of the way. Shake off any excess melted chocolate back into the cup.
- Lay each dipped pretzel rod onto the parchment paper and decorate with sprinkles or candy corn before the candy melts have time to set up. You can usually dip 5-6 pretzel rods, then decorate those, before dipping again.
- Let the chocolate covered pretzels set up fully before transferring to an airtight container. The candy melts will set up at room temperature, but you can stick them in the fridge to speed up the process. These will keep for about 2 weeks before they start to go stale.
Notes
- Mummy Pretzels: Dip the pretzel rods in melted white chocolate. Lay them onto the parchment paper and place 2 candy eyes on the upper portion of the pretzel rod before the chocolate has a chance to set. Transfer some of the melted white chocolate to a Ziploc bag and snip off a small corner. Drizzle lines of white chocolate up and down the length of the pretzel rod to give a wrapped and bandaged "mummy" look, allowing the candy eyes to peek through.
- Witches Finger Pretzels: Dip the pretzel rods in melted green candy melts. Press a slivered almond on the top of each "finger" to make it look like witches fingers.
- Frankenstein Pretzel Rods: Dip the pretzel rods in melted green candy melts. Sprinkle brown or black sprinkles on the top of each pretzel rod for "hair", then press in two candy eyes. Use melted dark chocolate to pipe a wavy line for a smile or to pipe stitches or scars on to the face.
