Dragonfly & Butterfly Pretzels
Ingredients
- mini pretzels
- stick pretzels
- 4 different colors Candy Melts*
- colored sprinkle
Instructions
- Pour candies in separate glass or ceramic bowls and microwave for each separately for 1 minute to melt.
- Add 30 seconds and then let sit until mostly melted. (A glass or ceramic bowl will held the heat in better and help the candies to melt better.)
- Stir to melt the rest of the way. (You really don't want to overheat these, or any chocolate for that matter! It seizes and the result is a thick, clumpy mess!)
- Dip the pretzels in the colors you'd like, then arrange them together on parchment paper sheets (or wax paper) to make either a butterfly or dragonfly. You can use forks to dip them but I love my Wilton Dipping Tools! The stick pretzels go in the middle with either 2 or 4 mini pretzels angled against it on the sides.
- Sprinkle on any fun candy decorations you have. Let cool fully until solid.

Notes
*Instead of using Candy Melts (which can be found on the cake decorating aisle of Walmart, Michael's, Hobby Lobby, JoAnn's, etc) you can melt a bag of white chocolate chips with 2 tsp coconut oil or shortening added. Divide the melted chocolate between 4 bowls and then stir in drops of food coloring.
