How to Make Tiana Inspired Chocolate Covered Pretzel Rods
You can make these as a family since they are kid friendly and who doesn’t love playing with baking glitter (sprinkles)?
Step 1 – Melt. Melt the purple, yellow, and green candy melts as directed on the package. Melt the white chocolate melting wafers as directed.

Step 2 – Cover. Using a spoon or rubber spatula scoop candy melts and/or white chocolate over the top of one end of the pretzels. Roll as you are scooping then tap lightly to get the excess candy melts or white chocolate off the pretzel. Place on parchment paper.

Step 3 – Sprinkle. Before the candy melts dry add the purple pearl sprinkles to the white pretzel rods. Add the star sprinkles to the purple pretzel rods. Lastly, add the white pearl sprinkles to the green pretzel rods and drizzle yellow candy melts over them.

Step 4 – Enjoy! Let dry and serve.

Extra Tips & Notes
Melt the chocolate in short intervals but if you mess up don’t fret. Sometimes getting the candy melts melted without the chocolate not seizing can be tricky. If the chocolate gets chunky, try some coconut or olive oil to get the chocolate to the right consistency.
Use Salty Pretzels. Find the saltiest pretzels you can find. Sweet and salty is such a fun flavor combination.
Enjoy for a Week. These pretzels can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
