Ingredients
- 24 pretzel rods
- 1 cup (6 oz.) pink melting wafers
- 1 cup (6 oz.) white melting wafers
- Breast Cancer-themed sprinkles, sanding sugar, small candies, etc. that are pink, white and red- I typically use about 1 cup total for 24 pretzel rods
Instructions
- Before starting: Line baking sheet with parchment/wax paper Place sprinkles in shallow/rectangular container
- Place wafers in two separate tall microwaveable safe bowls, mugs or glasses (I prefer tall glasses as pictured in the above post). Cover tightly with plastic wrap and poke one hole in the center with a toothpick.
- Choose one color to start with (I always do pink first!). Follow the directions on the package for heating. Here is a general guide if you don't have instructions: Microwave on the defrost setting (half power) for 1 minute. Gently pull away part of the plastic wrap and stir. Cover as before and return the container to the microwave. Heat for an additional 30 seconds and stir. Continue this process in 30 second intervals until the consistency is almost lump-free (you should be able to sir out the remaining lumps with a spoon).
- Set up your "dipping station" by placing the melted wafer container and the sprinkles container side by side. Have 12 pretzels ready to go and have the large pan (lined with parchment paper) very close by.
- Dip the pretzel rods, one at time, following these simple steps: Dip each pretzel into the melted wafer container and rotate to coat; use a spoon as needed to aid in this process. Leave about 1-2 inches on one end uncoated. Then immediately dip the coated pretzel into the sprinkles container (you need to do this step right away before it starts to set). You may choose to roll the pretzel or use a spoon to shower the sprinkles over the pretzel. Carefully place the decorated pretzel on the prepared pan; push on additional candies as desired before it sets. Repeat this entire process with the other color and the remaining 12 pretzels.
- Store in an airtight container. Enjoy within 5 days. For packaging ideas, please reference the above post.
Notes
Stick to premium melting wafers. Store brand and lower quality ones aren't as flavorful and tend to have more of an oily consistency.
