Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Melt White Chocolate: Place the white chocolate chips in a tall microwave-safe glass. Heat in 30-second increments, stirring well between each until smooth and fully melted.
Coat Pretzels: Dip each pretzel rod into the melted white chocolate making sure the rod is evenly coated. Lay them carefully on a parchment-lined or foil-lined cookie sheet or wire rack to prevent sticking.
Prepare M&Ms: Using a rolling pin, gently crush the pastel M&Ms into smaller pieces. Sprinkle these pieces evenly over the wet white chocolate coating before it begins to harden.
Melt Candy Melts: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the candy melts by heating in 30-second bursts, stirring thoroughly after each until smooth and melted.
Decorate with Candy Melts: Drizzle the melted candy melts over the M&M covered pretzels using a spoon or a piping bag to create colorful decorative lines.
Set and Serve: Allow the pretzels to cool completely at room temperature or place in the refrigerator until the chocolate and candy melts harden. Enjoy your festive Easter snacks!

Notes

Ensure the pretzels are fully dry to help the chocolate coat adhere better.
Use pastel or Easter-themed M&Ms to fit the occasion, but other candy-coated chocolates can be substituted.
To speed up setting, place pretzels in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes.
Store leftover pretzel rods in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge to keep fresh.
For a variation, try dipping pretzels in dark or milk chocolate instead of white chocolate.
