Ingredients

  • 8 pretzel rods
  • ¾ cup pink candy melts
  • 8 Peeps Bunnies
  • 1-2 tbsp Peeps sprinkles

Instructions

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This keeps the chocolate from sticking and makes cleanup easier. Set it aside so it’s ready once the pretzels are dipped.
  • Place the candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each round, until the candy melts are completely melted.
  • Dip one end of the pretzel rod into the melted candy coating. Then use a spoon to pour extra chocolate over the pretzel so it’s well coated.
  • Lay the dipped pretzel on the prepared baking sheet. Immediately place a Peep bunny on top of the coated section and add sprinkles. Hold the bunny gently in place for a few seconds so it sticks as the chocolate begins to set.
  • Allow the chocolate coating to fully set at room temperature, then serve or package.
