Easy Patriotic Pretzels With Only 3-Ingredients
These patriotic pretzels are an easy snack for your next July 4th party menu. You can make them in less than 10 minutes, and they’re only 3 ingredients! You’ll be making them for every 4th of July bbq or summer party from now on.
These are perfect as an easy 4th of July recipe, a sweet and salty treat for a backyard BBQ, or a fun addition to a red, white, and blue charcuterie board.
You can use a mix of red, white and blue M&M’s and candy melts to make lots of different combinations of pretzel designs. Each pretzel holds a candy melt as the base to attach the red and blue M&M’s to celebrate Independence Day!
Let’s make some patriotic pretzels! 🇺🇸✨
Ingredients
Steps to make Easy Patriotic Pretzels
1. Preheat the oven to 250 F.
2. Arrange pretzels on a baking sheet. On each pretzel, put one candy melt chip.
3. Put the baking sheet in the oven to warm for 3 minutes. Baking time will vary depending on candy melt brand so watch this step closely. You want the candy melts to soften but not fully melt.
4. Working quickly, press the red and blue M&M’s into the softened candy melt. Repeat for each pretzel as quickly as possible before the candy melt cools.
5. Allow pretzels to cool fully before removing from the baking sheet.
6. Repeat the process until you make the desired number of pretzels. I recommend doing them in the smaller batches so you can place the M&M’s before the candy melts cool.
