These Zebra Striped Pretzel Wands are a perfectly patterned treat to serve at your safari themed party. Luscious melted chocolate is drizzled with white chocolate on an extra long pretzel, for a salty-sweet combination that just might cause a stampede! These are quick and easy to whip up in the kitchen, and use only three ingredients. We’ve even shared the secret to achieving professional looking striping; it’s easier than you think!
- 12 oz. Bag of Pretzel Rods (24 unbroken pretzels)
- 1 Bag Wilton Milk Chocolate Candy Melts
- 1/4 Bag Wilton Bright White Candy Melts
Prepare two cookie sheets by tearing sheets of parchment paper and covering. Be sure the paper lays flat.
In a microwave safe bowl, melt the milk chocolate candy melts one minute at a time, stirring between times, until a smooth consistency is achieved.
Dip one pretzel into the chocolate, and use a fork to spread chocolate over 2/3 of the length, coating completely. Gently tap and spin the pretzel rod to remove excess chocolate. When the chocolate has stopped dripping, place the pretzel rod down on the parchment paper to set.
Repeat steps 1-3 on the remainder of the pretzel rods until 24 pretzel rods have been dipped in milk chocolate.
Melt the white candy melts in a microwave safe bowl until a smooth consistency is achieved. Using a spoon, carefully transfer the melted white candy into the plastic bottle. Wipe away any drips, and place the cap on securely.
Use the plastic bottle to drizzle the chocolate in a back and forth motion over each pretzel rod. If the chocolate cools in the bottle, you can melt it by placing the bottle (with the cap on), in a coffee mug of hot water, just the base of the bottle under water for about 30 seconds).
Allow the chocolate to set for about an hour, and these Zebra Striped Pretzel Wands will be ready to serve to your hungry herd!
