Ingredients

  • 48 Mini Pretzels
  • 12 Soft Caramels
  • 1 Cup Each Red Green and White Candy Melts
  • 1-2 Tbsp Shortening
  • Christmas Sprinkles

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375 and line a baking sheet with
    parchment paper.
  • Unwrap the caramels and cut them in half with a sharp knife.
  • Lay 24 of the pretzels in a single layer on your prepared
    baking sheet (you may need 2 baking sheets or to work in batches depending on
    the size)
  • Lay ½ of a caramel on each pretzel.
  • Place in the oven for about 5 minutes or until caramels are
    softened.
  • Remove from the oven and quickly press the remaining
    pretzels into the caramel.
  • Allow the pretzels to cool completely. Leave them on the
    baking sheet.
  • Place red candy melts in a microwave safe bowl with about a
    tsp of shortening. Microwave in 30 second increments stirring between each
    until the candy is completely melted and smooth.
  • Alternately you can place them in the bowl of a double
    boiler or in a heat safe bowl over a pan of water. Heat over med/high heat
    stirring frequently until completely melted. If necessary to achieve a smooth
    consistency add in shortening a tsp at a time until the melts are perfectly
    smooth.
  • Place the melted chocolate in a piping bag and clip of the
    point to create a small opening.
  • Drizzle the red chocolate over each pretzel until they are
    all covered.
  • Repeat the melting and drizzling process with the green
    candy melts.
  • Repeat the melting and drizzling process with the white
    candy melts. Immediately after drizzling on the white chocolate sprinkle on
    Christmas sprinkles.
  • Allow to cool completely.
