# What You'll Need:
→ Main
01 - 24 thick rod-style pretzel sticks
02 - 1 cup white chocolate or vanilla candy melts
03 - 1/2 cup assorted colored candy melts (red, green, yellow, blue)
04 - 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips
05 - 1/4 cup assorted holiday sprinkles or nonpareils
→ Decoration
06 - 1/4 cup black decorating gel or melted dark chocolate
# Directions:
01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Heat white chocolate or vanilla candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 20 seconds until fully melted and smooth.
03 - Dip each pretzel stick halfway into the melted white chocolate, tapping gently to remove excess coating.
04 - Place the dipped pretzels on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
05 - Melt each colored candy melt in separate microwave-safe bowls.
06 - Using a spoon or piping bag, apply small dots of each colored candy melt along the dipped section of each pretzel to resemble light bulbs.
07 - Before the candy melts set, press a mini chocolate chip onto the base of each colored dot to mimic a socket.
08 - Use black decorating gel or melted dark chocolate to draw lines connecting the colored bulbs along the dipped area.
09 - Optionally, sprinkle assorted holiday sprinkles or nonpareils over the pretzels for added decoration.
10 - Allow the pretzels to set at room temperature until firm, approximately 20 minutes, or chill briefly in the refrigerator to speed up the process.
