Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 pieces Mini twist pretzels
- 12 pieces Pretzel rods
- 1 cup White chocolate or candy melts
- 1 cup Milk chocolate or candy melts
- 0.25 cup Colored sprinkles
- 0.25 cup Mini candy decorations (e.g., candy pearls, sugar flowers)
- 1 sheet Parchment paper
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Melt the white chocolate or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second increments, stirring between each round until smooth.
Melt the milk chocolate or candy melts in a separate microwave-safe bowl in the same manner.
Lay two mini twist pretzels side by side on the parchment paper to form the butterfly wings. Repeat to create 12 sets of wings.
Dip one end of a pretzel rod into the melted white chocolate or milk chocolate, coating about 1 inch. This will act as the 'bodice' of the butterfly.
Attach the coated pretzel rod between the two pretzel 'wings,' pressing gently to adhere. Repeat for all pretzel rods and wing pairs.
Use a small spoon or piping bag to drizzle additional melted chocolate over the wings to secure them and add decoration.
While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle the wings with colored sprinkles and place mini candy decorations on top to embellish your butterfly.
Let the chocolate set completely at room temperature, or place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to speed up the process.
Once the chocolate has hardened, gently remove the pretzel butterflies from the parchment paper and serve or store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
