Christmas Pretzel Rods
Crunchy pretzel rods dipped in melted chocolate and decorated with festive Christmas sprinkles and colorful chocolate drizzles. An easy no-bake holiday treat for parties, dessert trays, and homemade gifts.
Ingredients
- 24 pretzel rods
- 12 oz white chocolate or white candy melts
- 8 oz red and green candy melts
- Christmas sprinkles
- Crushed candy canes optional
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet or tray with parchment paper.
- Place the white chocolate or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20–30 second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
- Transfer the melted chocolate into a tall, narrow glass.
- Dip each pretzel rod about two-thirds of the way into the melted chocolate. Allow excess coating to drip off.
- Add Christmas sprinkles or crushed candy canes while the coating is still wet.
- Place the pretzels on the prepared tray and allow the coating to set.
- Melt the red and green candy melts separately and drizzle over the pretzels.
- Let the finished pretzel rods harden completely before serving or packaging.
Notes
Use a tall glass to make dipping easier.
Add sprinkles before the chocolate sets.
Work in small batches so the coating doesn't harden before decorating.
Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
Keep away from direct sunlight and heat.
