How to Make Pretzel Light Sabers
This is such an easy party snack that my 4 year old helped me make them from start to finish!
1. First, melt your white candy melts. Some brands are good for melting smooth on their own, and some you have to add a teaspoon of shortening to in order to get a smooth texture. (Our microwave takes 30 seconds to zap a mug full of candy melts.)
2. Stir the melts thoroughly to remove clumps, and then dip one side of the pretzels. You want to dip the “handle” (about ¼ of the pretzel) in white candy coating. Let dry.
3. Using your silver spray, cover the white candy coating with an even coat.
4. Once the silver coating is dry, zap the coloured candy melts and dip the remaining ¾ of the pretzel sticks. Use a candy stick or chopstick to add a dab of the candy melts to the handle and attach the M&M minis.
And, you’re done!
