A simple and sparkling dessert is just the thing to add some pizazz to your New Year’s Celebration. Whip up a batch or two of this New Year’s Pretzel Sticks Recipe to add to your appetizer selection or dessert table while you wait for midnight to chime in.

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.   Pin it button
  3. Place the candy-coated pretzel rod on waxed paper or a cooling rack. (Note: Waxed paper makes for easier release.)Pin it button
  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.

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
