Mermaid pretzel rods
How to make easy and enchanting mermaid candied pretzel rods!
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 bag Pretzel rods
- 1 bag Blue candy melts
- 2 tsp Coconut oil
- ½ cup Lavender candy melts
- ¼ tsp Coconut oil
- ½ cup Pink candy melts
- ¼ tsp Coconut oil
- Flight of the unicorn sprinkles
- 30 Chocolate mermaid tails
Instructions
- First, prepare and measure out all of your ingredients. Then, line a baking sheet with a parchment paper sheet or wax paper.
- Next, combine the blue candy melts and the 2 tsp. of coconut oil in the candy melting pot. Melt them together on high and stir regularly with a heat resistant spatula.
- After the candy has melted completely, transfer the melted blue candy to a tall dipping container.
- Dip each pretzel rod into the melted blue candy and then spread them out over the parchment- lined baking sheet. Transfer the pretzels to the fridge and let the candy coating harden for about 10 minutes. You could also just let the coated pretzels sit out at room temperature until the candy hardens but the fridge helps to speed up the process. These could also be hardened in the freezer for about 7-10 minutes.
- While the first candy layer is hardening, rinse out the silicone lining of the melting pot. After drying, repeat the melting and stirring process for the lavender candy melts and the ¼ tsp of coconut oil.
- When the lavender candy is ready, transfer it to a piping bag and tie it off with a piping bag tie. Then, cut ⅛ inch from the tip of the bag for easy drizzling. Drizzle the lavender candy over the hardened blue candy.
- Rinse and dry the melting pot one more time. Then, combine the pink candy melts with the ¼ tsp. of the coconut oil and melt them together while stirring.
- When it is ready, transfer the melted pink candy to a piping bag and tie it off with a piping bag tie. Then, cut ⅛ inch from the tip of the bag for easy drizzling.
- Next, drizzle a final candy layer of the melted pink candy over the pretzel rods and sprinkle each one with the Flight of the Unicorn Sprinkles while the melted candy is still wet.
- Finally, drip a small amount of melted chocolate to the top of each pretzel rod and then stick a homemade Chocolate Mermaid Tail on top. Let the mermaid pretzel rods harden completely before serving.

Notes
Kitchen Tip: I specifically like using my candy melt pot over all other melting methods, including the microwave, for any kind of candy- making projects. It keeps the chocolate at the perfect temperature through the whole process. Plus the silicone lining is super easy to clean and there are no overcooked bits of candy to try and scrape off later.
