Spring Chocolate Covered Pretzels

Fun, simple and delicious Chocolate Covered Pretzels dipped in white chocolate and sprinkled with peanut butter M&Ms and drizzled with candy melts for the perfect springtime snack!

I think homemade chocolate covered pretzels almost always trump those bought at a store.

And they way cheaper to make yourself!

They also make for a pretty and edible centerpiece, when stacked in a mason jar or hurricane vase, perfect for Easter brunch!

Chocolate-dipped pretzels have always been one of my favorite treats and because this week has turned out to be unexpectedly hectic, I decided to make something that didn’t even require an oven.

I simply melted white chocolate , dipped in some pretzel rods and decorated them with some peanut butter M&Ms, SPRINKLES and drizzled with pink and yellow candy melts, making these pretzel rods an easy, fun treat for spring.

They also make great gifts, too!

✓WILTON CANDY MELTS

HOW TO MAKE CHOCOLATE COVERED PRETZELS

MELT THE CHOCOLATE: To melt your chocolates, use a TALL coffee cup as this accommodates the depth needed to cover most of the pretzel.  Put the chocolate baking bars into the mug along with a tablespoon of shortening and microwave for 30 seconds.  Stir and continue to microwave in 30-second intervals until almost melted.  (Be sure not to overheat as this will ruin the chocolate).  Place the mug in a pan of warm water to hold the chocolate temperature.

WILTON CANDY MELTS: I used the bright pink and yellow candy melts. You can find them at Wal-Mart in the “holiday” aisle or at any craft store like JoAnn Fabrics. Change up the colors to go with the holiday or party theme!

CANDY TOPPINGS: I used peanut butter M&Ms but you can use any candy you would like or keep it simple with just sprinkles.
