Ingredients
✔️ 24 pretzel rods (Snyder’s brand recommended)
✔️ 4 cups white chocolate chips (or vanilla almond bark, white melting wafers, or white candy melts)
✔️ ½ cup pink candy melts
✔️ ½ cup light blue candy melts
✔️ ½ cup yellow candy melts
✔️ Pastel Easter sprinkles
✔️ 24 Peeps bunnies (any color or assorted)
Instructions
1️⃣ Prepare: Line a baking sheet or countertop with parchment or wax paper.
2️⃣ Melt the White Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, heat white chocolate chips for 1 minute. Stir, then continue in 30-second increments until smooth.
3️⃣ Dip the Pretzel Rods: Pour melted white chocolate into a tall glass or jar for easy dipping. Dip ¾ of each pretzel rod into the chocolate, let excess drip off, and place on parchment paper.
4️⃣ Melt the Candy Melts: In separate bowls, melt pink, blue, and yellow candy melts according to package directions.
5️⃣ Drizzle & Decorate: Place melted candy melts into ziplock bags (snip the corner) or use piping bags. Drizzle over the pretzels and immediately sprinkle with Easter sprinkles.
6️⃣ Attach the Peeps: Use melted white chocolate or candy melts as glue and press a Peeps bunny onto each pretzel rod. Hold for a second to secure.
7️⃣ Set & Serve: Let the pretzels set at room temperature for 20 minutes before serving.
Notes
✨ Use different colors! Try pastel purple, green, or orange candy melts for variety.
