Ingredients

Units Scale

24 pretzel rods

Chocolate:

1 bag (15 oz) white chocolate chips

Toppings:

1/4 bag (12 oz) candy melts
1/2 cup pastel M&Ms

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Melt the White Chocolate:
Melt the white chocolate chips in a tall glass. Use the microwave by heating in 30-second increments, stirring between each interval to ensure smooth, even melting.
Dip the Pretzel Rods:
Dunk each pretzel rod into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it is well-coated. Place the coated pretzels on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper, foil, or a wire rack to avoid sticking.
Add the M&M Topping:
Use a rolling pin to lightly crush the pastel M&Ms into smaller pieces. Sprinkle them generously over the wet white chocolate coating before it sets.
Prepare the Candy Melts:
In a microwave-safe dish, melt the candy melts by microwaving in 30-second increments. Stir thoroughly after each interval until fully melted and smooth.
Drizzle the Colorful Candy Melts:
Using a spoon or piping bag, drizzle the melted candy melts over the coated pretzels topped with M&Ms to add a decorative and colorful layer.
Let Them Cool:
Allow the pretzel rods to cool completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator until the chocolate and candy melt layers are firm. Enjoy your festive Easter treat!

Notes

For best results, use a tall glass to melt the chocolate to make dipping the pretzel rods easier.
To make the pastel M&M topping more decorative, sort them by color for a consistent look or sprinkle in random patterns for a vibrant design.
Store the pretzel rods in an airtight container to maintain their crunch and freshness.
Avoid overheating the chocolate or candy melts, as they can seize or burn. Always melt in short intervals and stir frequently.
For easy drizzling, transfer the melted candy melts into a small sandwich bag, cut a tiny corner, and use it as a piping tool.
