Patriotic Pretzels
What a better way to celebrate America that with some sweet, crunchy, and salty snack? Perfect for 4th of July or Memorial Day celebrations. Easy to make, kid friendly recipe, so everyone in the family can be involved.

Ingredients

  • Red, White, and Blue Sprinkles
  • Small Silicone Spatulas
  • Kitchen Scissors
  • 3 Sandwich Size Baggies
  • 2 Cups Twist Pretzels
  • 1/2 Cup White Candy Melting Wafers
  • 1/2 Cup Blue Candy Melting Wafers
  • 1/2 Cup Red Candy Melting Wafers
  • Cooling Rack
  • Flexible Cutting Board (Paper Towels, Wax Paper, or Parchment Paper could also be used)
Patriotic Pretzels

Directions

  1. Begin by placing your cooling rack over the flexible cutting board. This will help catch the extra candy melts, white chocolate, and sprinkles that fall through the cooling rack when decorating.
  2. Spread the pretzels across the cooling rack, placing them as close together as possible, while not overlapping.
  3. In a glass bowl, melt the blue candy melting wafers in the microwave, heating in 15 seconds increments. After 15 seconds, take out and stir well with a silicone spatula. Return for additional 15 seconds, until completely melted and smooth.
  4. Allow the blue candy melting wafers to cool slightly, then holding one of the sandwich baggies open with the palm of your hand, put the blue candy into the bag. Make sure to add it into one of the bottom corners of the bag, so that it looks like a cone shape when you hold the baggie.
  5. Cut a very small diagonal line across the bottom corner of the baggie. Begin piping the blue candy melts across the pretzels in a horizontal line, moving right to left.
  6. Repeat steps 3, 4, and 5 with the white chocolate chips, but instead pipe the white chocolate in vertical lines, moving up and down the pretzels.
  7. Next, repeat steps 3, 4, and 5 with the red candy melting wafers, but pipe the red wafers in a diagonal line across the pretzels.
  8. While the candy melts and white chocolate are still warm, sprinkle the red, white, and blue sprinkles on top of the pretzels. The sprinkles will stick to the warm candy and chocolate to keep them from falling off.
  9. Place the cooling rack in the refrigerator to set for approximately 1-2 minutes. Remove from the refrigerator, and break up the pretzels. Enjoy!

I love this idea! I'm going to swipe it for our Canada Day celebrations (minus the blue) this year. I'm sure they'll be a hit.
