Recipe Ingredients:

• Peanut Butter Meltables
• Dark Chocolate Meltables
• Pretzel Rods
• Sprinkles

The meltable flavors I am using are Peanut Butter and Dark Chocolate, but feel free to experiment with different flavors and types of chocolate.

Instead of sprinkles, you could also try topping them with crushed mini candy canes or peppermint candies, mini chocolate chips, coconut flakes, or white chocolate drizzle.

If you are making these for people outside of your family, I strongly suggest wearing food-safe gloves. You never want to touch other people's food.

Instructions:

Begin by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper or waxed paper.

Pour the Peanut Butter Meltables into a microwave-safe bowl.

Follow the package instructions on how to melt the peanut butter chips.

Here are the instructions for the candy melts I used:

• Microwave at 50% power for 1 minute
• Stir
• Return to microwave for 30-second intervals stirring in between until the candy is melted

Make sure to watch the peanut butter closely because it can easily burn.

The Meltables from Micheals melts beautifully. The peanut butter is so silky smooth!

Pick up a pretzel rod, and with a spoon cover the entire rod with melted peanut butter, leaving only the end of the pretzel rod uncovered.

Shake off any excess peanut butter, and then place the pretzel rod on the lined baking sheet for the peanut butter to harden.

Melt the Dark Chocolate Meltables, again following the package instructions.

This time cover each pretzel stick with the melted chocolate, tap off the excess chocolate, and then drop sprinkles over the top while the chocolate is still wet.

Make sure to let the layers completely set before packaging.

Packaging:

Chocolate-covered Pretzel rods are one of my favorite Christmas treats and they make great Christmas gifts!

I found the 4x9 Treat Bags fit 4 Christmas Pretzel Rods perfectly.

Simply fold the top to the back and secure it with a piece of transparent tape.

You could also add a bow or a cute tag!

These chocolate-covered pretzels are so good, that no matter how you package them, they are delicious!
