# What You’ll Need:
→ Main
01 - 24 thick rod-style pretzel sticks
02 - 1 cup white chocolate or vanilla candy melts
03 - 1/2 cup assorted colored candy melts (red, green, yellow, blue)
04 - 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips
05 - 1/4 cup assorted holiday sprinkles or nonpareils
→ Decoration
06 - 1/4 cup black decorating gel or melted dark chocolate
# Method:
01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
02 - Melt the white chocolate or vanilla candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 20 seconds until smooth.
03 - Dip each pretzel stick halfway into the melted white chocolate, tapping gently to remove excess.
04 - Place the dipped pretzels on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
05 - Melt each colored candy melt separately in microwave-safe bowls until fully smooth.
06 - Using a spoon or piping bag, carefully apply small dots of each colored candy melt along the dipped section of each pretzel to resemble Christmas light bulbs.
07 - Before the candy melts set, press a mini chocolate chip onto the base of each colored bulb to simulate the socket.
08 - Use black decorating gel or melted dark chocolate to draw wires connecting the colored bulbs along the dipped portion.
09 - Optionally, add assorted holiday sprinkles or nonpareils for extra festive decoration.
10 - Allow the decorated pretzels to set at room temperature until firm, about 20 minutes, or chill briefly in the refrigerator.
