Candy Cane Christmas Pretzel Rods

Candy cane pretzel rods are a quick and easy Christmas snack. They’re the perfect Christmas treats when you don’t want something overly sweet. The salty pretzels, sweet candy melts and minty candy canes balance each other well and make an addictive treat.

I like these Christmas pretzels because they’re an easy addition for Christmas cookie trays or as a prep ahead Christmas party food. They’re only a few steps and 3 ingredients so they couldn’t be easier.

Let’s make some candy cane pretzels!

Ingredients

• Pretzel rods
• 1 bag of white candy melts
• Candy canes

How to make candy cane pretzel rods

1. Line baking sheet with parchment paper

2. Crush candy canes. Put them in a ziplock bag and seal, then gently crush with a rolling pin or kitchen mallet

3. Warm candy melts according to package instructions. I microwave for 30 second intervals on 50% power, stirring in-between.

4. Dip pretzel rod about half way into the melted white candy melts, shake off excess as you pull them out.

5. Sprinkle with crushed candy canes before placing on parchment to cool. Repeat with the rest of the pretzels

6. Let set before serving or pop in fridge for 10 minutes to cool faster.
