- 1 bag pretzel rods
- 1 bag white candy melts

Instructions

- Melt the white candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring until smooth.
- Dip a pretzel rod into the melted white candy halfway up and twist gently to let excess candy drip off.

- Final touches can include drizzling melted chocolate over the dried pretzels for decoration.
