Mer’s Candied Pretzels

Melt white chips in a pyrex, 2 cup, measuring cup, according to directions (do not get it wet or it will ruin and do not overcook). Break all pretzels in half. Dip the broken end halfway up into the white, melted candy. Lay on parchment. Do this for all the pretzels. Sprinkle the sprinkles on liberally, while the candy coating is still not set (still melty).

Melt red chips according to directions in a sandwich-sized, zip lock bag. After melted (again do not get it wet or overcook), snip a very small piece from one corner of the bottom. Drizzle the red over the pretzels in strings. (You can use different colors for different occasions. These are for Valentine’s day).

Let set/ harden. Place six of the half-pretzels in each bag and tie with about 4 inches of ribbon. Makes 12 bags. From my friend Meredith, who has great, low cost ideas for meals and treats!
