White and Gold Pretzel Rods

With a salty crunch and a smooth sweet coating, dipped pretzel rods offer the best of both worlds for serious snackers. These can be made in a rainbow of colors and decorated with sugar or any kind of candy sprinkles. Candy-coated pretzel rods are a popular treat with both kids and adults.

Items needed:
1 package bright white candy melts
1 package large pretzel rods
Gold sanding sugar
Wax paper

Melt the candy in a microwave safe bowl according to package directions. If needed, candy can be thinned with a small amount of paramount crystals or vegetable shortening. Working with one pretzel rod at a time, dip pretzels in the candy. Gently shake off excess. Sprinkle with sanding sugar and place on wax paper to dry. Store in a sealed container.
