Ingredients

  • White melting chocolate, such as Almond Bark or Wilton Candy Melts, found online or at Walmart and Michael’s. Or tub white frosting DO NOT use white chocolate chips, they will not melt properly for this recipe
  • Long pretzel rods
  • Easter sprinkles, colored sprinkles, nonpareils, jimmies
  • baby chick or Bunny Peeps

Instructions

  1. *** Use whatever amounts you want. It’s a very easy and versatile recipe.

    1. Have a rimmed cookie sheet/baking pan lined with parchment or wax paper ready along with sprinkles and Peeps.

    2.Set pan aside while melting chocolate or get the frosting opened and ready to go. If using Almond Bark, chop up into medium to small chunks. If using Candy Melts, you won’t need to chop up. Leave out 2 pieces of chocolate. Set aside. Place in microwave safe bowl. Heat for 30 second increments. After each time, stir well with a rubber spatula. Try not to over heat the chocolate. When almost all chocolate is melted, keep stirring and add in the last two pieces. Stir to melt and shiny. Using a teaspoon, coat a pretzel rod half way up, dip or sprinkle toppings all over the coated part. Put more melted chocolate on the top of the rod and the bottom of a Peep. Press the bottom of the Peep into the top of the rod. Lay flat onto the lined cookie sheet.

    3. If using the frosting, just smoosh the frosting on the upper part of the pretzel rod. Then, do the same with the frosting that you did with the melted chocolate. Dip or sprinkle the toppings all over the coated part. Then, put a small dollop of frosting on the top of each pretzel rod and on the bottom of the peep. Press gently and lay on the lined cookie sheet. Do this until you have finished the amount you are making. That’s it! Look how cute and how much fun that was! Enjoy the yumminess!
