These white chocolate-coated pretzels are created with three basic ingredients: long pretzel rods, white chocolate, and sprinkles. That is all you need to create these quick and easy white chocolate-dipped pretzel rods.

New Year’s Pretzel Rods Recipe

Ingredients:

• Pretzel rods
• White candy melts, white chocolate chips, or vanilla almond bark
• Assorted sprinkles in gold, silver, white, and/or black (I used this Sprinkle Mix)

Instructions:

1. Melt the candy coating according to package directions giving special care not to overheat the candy. If the candy coating is overheated, it will be too thick. You can add 2 teaspoons of vegetable shortening to help thin the candy but do not add any other type of liquid as the candy will seize and harden.
2. Pour candy coating over two-thirds of the pretzel rod and shake gently to remove excess. If applying sprinkles, do so immediately rotating the pretzel rods to coat all sides. Larger sprinkles work best if placed individually.  
3. Place the candy-coated pretzel rod on waxed paper or a cooling rack. (Note: Waxed paper makes for easier release.)
4. Let the pretzel rods dry completely before packaging or serving.

Store in an airtight container at room temperature. Placing the candy-coated pretzel sticks in the refrigerator may cause the pretzel to soften.

You can use any of the leftover silver and gold sprinkles to make these Milk Toast Glasses for kids.
