Chocolate Covered Pretzel Rods

A side view of five chocolate covered pretzel rods decorated with different colors and sprinkles for Christmas

Chocolate Covered Pretzel Rods are so fun and simple to make. They're the easiest "Christmas cookie" out there and everyone loves them!

Prep Time 10 minutes
Total Time 10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 2 bags pretzel rods
  • 1-2 bars milk or dark chocolate
  • 1 bag brown candy melts, I use both "regular" chocolate and melts but you could use all of one or the other
  • 2 bags white candy melts
  • 1 bag red candy melts
  • 1 bag green candy melts
  • Assorted Sprinkles, these are exactly what I use

Instructions

  1. Spread out some waxed paper large enough to hold all of your finished pretzels. Place a smaller "work station" sheet of waxed paper for every person decorating pretzels.
  2. Melt 1 bag white candy melts in a mug or dish that will allow for easy pretzel dipping according to package directions. Do the same with the brown melts and chocolate bar, melting the darker chocolates together. Dip each pretzel rod into the chocolate, allowing the excess chocolate to drip back into dish. Set pretzel onto waxed paper and allow to harden while you finish remaining pretzels.
  3. Place desired color candy melts into bag and melt in microwave according to package directions. I do them all at once and pop back in microwave as it cools and hardens in the bag, if necessary.
  4. Drizzle melted candy melts over pretzel rods, allowing layers to harden between each one or immediately adding sprinkles if ready. Allow finished chocolate covered pretzel rods to harden completely before placing on serving tray. Keep covered with saran wrap until ready to serve.
