Butterfly Chocolate Covered Pretzels
Prep Time:30 minutes
Cooling Time:1 hour
Total Time:1 hour 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 48 mini pretzels
  • 24 pretzel sticks
  • 1 cup pink melting candy
  • 1 cup light blue melting candy
  • 1 cup yellow melting candy
  • 1 cup orange melting candy
  • Rainbow sprinkles

Instructions

  • Melt each color of candy in separate bowls according to package directions.
  • Transfer about 2 tablespoons of each melted candy color into separate piping bags and set aside.
  • Dip the mini pretzels and pretzel sticks into the melted candy until fully coated. Remove using a fork and gently tap off excess coating. Continue until all pretzels are coated. Be sure to coat pretzel twists in matching pairs for butterfly wings.
  • Place two matching pretzel twists side by side on parchment paper while the coating is still wet so they stick together as they harden.
  • Add rainbow sprinkles to half of the butterfly wings.
  • Once the coating has hardened, remelt the candy in the piping bags if necessary. Pipe a line of candy down the center of each butterfly and gently press a coated pretzel stick onto it to create the body.
  • Use the remaining candy in the piping bags to drizzle decorative designs over the other half of the butterfly wings.
  • Allow the butterflies to cool completely until all decorations are firm before serving.
