Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 250
2
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3
Unwrap caramels and cut each one in half.
4
Arrange half of the pretzels in rows on the baking sheet, and top each pretzel with half of a caramel.
5
Place the baking sheet in the oven for about 8 minutes, until the caramels are starting to melt.
6
Remove the pretzels from the oven and gently press the remaining pretzels on top of the caramels.
7
Allow them to cool completely.
8
In a double boiler or a heat safe bowl over a small pot of simmering water, melt the blue candy melts. You want the chocolate to be nice and smooth and melted. If needed add ½ a tsp shortening at a time until the consistency is perfect for dipping.
9
Prepare a counter, table or other flat surface with wax or parchment paper.
10
Dip about 1/3 of each pretzel into the blue chocolate, place it on the prepared surface and sprinkle with white and/or star sprinkles while the chocolate is still soft.
11
Next melt the white and red chocolate, adding shortening ½ a tsp at a time if needed for a nice smooth consistency.
12
Working one color at a time, place the melted chocolate in a piping bag, cut the point off, and drizzle on the bottom 2/3 of the pretzels. Follow with the next color drizzling so that you can still see the first color.
13
Allow them to cool completely.
14
Store in an airtight container until ready to serve

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Temper Candy Melts Properly 🍫Melt candy melts in 30-second intervals at 50% power in the microwave, stirring between each interval to prevent scorching and achieve smooth, glossy coating that hardens evenly.
- Use Shortening for Dipping Consistency 🥄Add a small amount of shortening to your melted candy melts to thin the mixture slightly, making it easier to coat pretzels without pooling while maintaining a thin, crispy shell.
- Apply Sprinkles While Chocolate Sets ✨Press sprinkles onto the chocolate-coated pretzels immediately after dipping, within 10-15 seconds, before the coating begins to set so they adhere securely.
- Line Your Workspace with Parchment 📋Place pretzels on parchment paper immediately after coating and decorating to prevent sticking and allow the chocolate to set cleanly without crumbs adhering to the bottom.
- Chill for Quick Setting ❄️Place coated pretzels in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to set the chocolate completely and ensure decorations stay put before transferring to room temperature storage or serving.
