Ingredients:

For the Patriotic Coating:

• 1 cup blue candy melts
• 1 cup red candy melts
• Patriotic sprinkles or colored sugar

For the Pretzel Rods:

• 20-25 pretzel rods

Equipment:

• Microwave-safe bowls
• Parchment paper
• Cookie sheet
• Plastic sandwich bags or piping bags
• Patriotic-themed ribbon (optional, for decoration)

Instructions:

Melt the Chocolate and Candy Coating

1. Place white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth.
2. Repeat the process with blue and red candy melts in separate bowls.

Coat the Pretzel Rods

1. Dip each pretzel rod into the melted white chocolate, ensuring an even coating.
2. Lay the coated rods on a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet.

Create the Blue Section

1. Pour the melted blue candy coating into a plastic sandwich bag or piping bag.
2. Snip a small corner off the bag and pipe a square of blue coating in the top left corner of each pretzel rod to resemble the blue field of the American flag.
3. Sprinkle patriotic sprinkles or colored sugar onto the blue coating while it’s still wet.

Add the Red Stripes

1. Pour the melted red candy coating into a separate plastic bag or piping bag.
2. Snip a small corner and pipe horizontal stripes onto the remaining white chocolate-coated section of the pretzel rods.
3. Again, sprinkle patriotic decorations over the red coating for that extra festive touch.

Let Them Set

1. Allow the Patriotic American Flag Pretzel Rods to set completely on the parchment paper.
2. If you want to speed up the process, you can place the cookie sheet in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes.

Optional Decoration

1. Tie a piece of patriotic-themed ribbon around the base of each pretzel rod for a decorative finish.

Serve with Pride

1. Arrange your finished Patriotic Pretzel Rods on a festive serving platter.
2. Share them at your celebration or package them up for a delicious and patriotic gift.

Tips for Success:

1. Work quickly when coating the pretzel rods to ensure the candy coating doesn’t set before you add the decorations.

3. Store the finished pretzel rods in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
