Patriotic Pretzel Rods
These patriotic pretzel rods are dipped in white chocolate and topped with red, white & blue sprinkles. A no-bake Fourth of July treat kids love!
Ingredients
- 12 large pretzel rods
- 1 cup white chocolate chips or white candy melts
- 1 tsp coconut oil optional, for smoother melting
- ¼ cup red white, and blue sprinkles
- Red and blue candy melts optional, for drizzle
Instructions
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using). Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted and smooth.
- Hold each pretzel rod by one end and dip the top half into the melted chocolate. Gently tap off the excess.
- While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle the pretzel with patriotic sprinkles. Optional: drizzle red and blue candy melts over the top for extra flair.
- Place dipped rods on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Let them sit at room temperature for 15–20 minutes, or pop them in the fridge for faster setting.
- Once set, serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Notes
Recipe Notes & Tips
- No coconut oil? Just melt the white chocolate slowly and stir often—it’ll still work.
- Candy melts vs. chips: Candy melts set faster and are easier for drizzle designs.
- Let kids help! This is a great project for little hands—just set out bowls of sprinkles and let them go wild.
- Package for gifts: Wrap each rod in cellophane bags and tie with a red or blue ribbon for party favors.
