Step-by-Step Guide
1. Start by melting your pink, red, and white candy melts. Place them in separate microwave-safe bowls and heat them in the microwave in increments of 20 seconds. Make sure to stir them in between each heating until they’re fully melted and smooth.
2. Grab your pretzels and dip them into the melted candy, ensuring they’re nicely coated.
3. After dipping, decorate your pretzels with your favorite sprinkles while the candy is still wet
4. Place all your decorated pretzels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and pop them in the fridge for about 30 minutes, or until the candy coating has hardened.
Serve and Enjoy!

- Heat in short increments (20 seconds) and stir well each time to ensure even melting.
- Add sprinkles while the candy is still wet so they stick properly.
- Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to fully harden the candy coating before serving or packaging.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to a week.
