Fourth of July Firework Chocolate Pretzels
Light up your Fourth of July Picnic with these fun Firework Chocolate Pretzels! These would certainly spark up your party tables this holiday…easy to make and fun to eat! Also, a fun project to get the kids involved with too!
SUPPLIES:
Pretzel Rods
White Candy Melts
Red, White and Blue {silver if you like} decorating sugar
Wilton squeeze bottle
First I melted white candy melts in the microwave like here and placed the melted mixture in a squeeze bottle. I drew out my “bursts” on non-stick Reynolds Foil. While the chocolate was still hot, I sprinkled white sprinkles in the middle and the blue, red or silver towards the edges. Once hardened, I warmed a second batch of chocolate and drizzled it over the pretzels. I immediately place my “bursts” on the warm chocolate to secure them in place.
TIP: Slowly remove the bursts from the foil by peeling it away from the chocolate. Don’t try to lift the chocolate off the foil…they will break apart.
I also took any left over chocolate in the squeeze bottle and drizzled over some small pretzel sticks…yummy!
Use sugar to keep them standing up in the container. Firework box from Joanne Fabric.
So what do you think of my Fourth of July Firework Pretzels…cute?!

Thanks for pinning and stopping by!
Love this idea. Super cute and fun. Are the pretzels in sugar to hold them up??
Thanks Charlene! The burst on the fireworks are attached to the pretzels with extra warm chocolate. Lay pretzels flat until harden and they will stay in place!

Thanks, Lizy, for pinning! Glad you stopped by over the weekend!
This is so adorable!!
Thank you, Jennifer! Glad you like them!
I made these today for a cookout. They are very cute, not too hard to make, but they are VERY fragile. I’ve worked with chocolate many times before, so I didn’t have much of a problem, but someone who hasn’t worked with chocolate before will probably be VERY frustrated by the end of this project. 🙂 Thanks for the cute and festive post!
