Valentine's Day Pretzel Rods Recipe
Ingredients:
- 12 large Pretzel rods
- Brown candy melts, milk chocolate morsels, or chocolate flavored almond bark
- White candy melts, white chocolate morsels, or vanilla almond bark
- Pink candy melts
- Red candy melts
- Assorted Valentine’s Day sprinkles and/or jimmies
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 or coconut oil 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 pretzel rod on waxed paper or cooling rack. (Cook’s notes: Waxed paper makes for easier release.)
4. If drizzling with additional colored candy melts, allow initial candy coating to set completely. Then, use a spoon or fork to drizzle candy coating over the pretzel rods. Before the pretzel sets, gently pick it up and move to clean wax paper.
5. Let the pretzel rods dry completely before packaging or serving.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature. Placing them in the refrigerator may cause the pretzels to soften.
