MAKE BUTTERFLY PRETZELS FOR SPRING

First, let's prepare your space. Clear your counter, dining table or simply use two large baking sheets and cover with wax or parchment paper.

Place each of the colored candy melts into microwave-safe bowls. Microwave each bowl in 30-second increments until the candy melts are smooth and creamy. Be sure not to overheat the candy melts.

Using the candy dipping tool or a fork, dip a pretzel stick in your favorite color of melted candy. Allow the excess candy to drip off, then place it on your prepared baking sheet. This will be the body of the butterfly treat.

Then dip two of the mini twist pretzels into another shade of candy melt and put one pretzel twist on each side of the “body.” Sprinkle with colorful pastel sprinkles. 

Repeat the process with the remaining pretzels and candy.

Have fun and make your design by modifying the color and style of the butterflies. Allow the butterfly pretzels to dry for 30 minutes.

If your kitchen is hot, place them in the fridge for 15 minutes.
