Dressed in their finest greens, these pretzels are picture perfect for St. Patrick's Day. Be sure to make a large batch because it's hard to eat just one... two... or even three!

What You Need

Mini Pretzel Twists
White Chocolate Candy Melts
Green Chocolate Candy Melts
Candy Sprinkles & Colored Sugar
Microwave Safe Bowl
Fork or Skewer
Wax Paper

What You Do

Using a microwave, melt the chocolate in two separate bowls, stopping every 30 seconds to stir the chocolate.

Using a fork or skewer to hold each pretzel, dip it into the melted chocolate. Lay the pretzels on wax paper. While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle with candy sprinkles or colored sugar. Allow to dry at least 15 minutes before removing the pretzels from the wax paper.

Store in a sealed container in a cool place. Do not refrigerate or freeze because it could cause the appearance of the chocolate to change colors.
