Crunchy pretzels dipped in rich chocolate and decorated with red, white, and blue sprinkles—an easy and festive snack to celebrate Independence Day! These no-bake treats are quick to assemble, kid-friendly, and perfect for patriotic parties or cookouts.
Ingredients
- 24 mini pretzel twists
- 8 oz white chocolate or white candy melts
- Red white, and blue sprinkles or sanding sugar
Instructions
- Prepare Pretzels: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the pretzels in a single layer.
- Melt Chocolate: Melt the white chocolate or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
- Dip Pretzels: Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each pretzel halfway into the melted chocolate. Let the excess drip off.
- Decorate: Immediately sprinkle the dipped pretzels with red, white, and blue sprinkles or sanding sugar.
- Set: Place the pretzels back on the parchment-lined sheet and allow the chocolate to harden at room temperature or in the fridge (about 20 minutes).
Notes
- For extra festive flair, drizzle melted red and blue candy melts over the coated pretzels before the chocolate sets.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
- Use gluten-free pretzels if needed for dietary restrictions.
