Dr. Seuss Truffula Tree Pretzel Rods Recipe
Ingredients
Pretzel rods
Jumbo marshmallows
Candy melts in yellow, blue, bright green, purple, bright pink, orange, black
Jimmies in blue, bright green, purple, bright pink, orange
How to make these cute Dr. Seuss Truffula Tree Pretzel Rods
1. Press one jumbo marshmallow on to the end of each pretzel rod.
2. Melt the yellow candy coating according to package directions giving special care not to overheat the candy. If the candy coating is overheated, it will be too thick. You can add 2 teaspoons of vegetable shortening or coconut oil to help thin the candy but do not add any other type of liquid as the candy will seize and harden.
3. Pour candy coating over the exposed pretzel rod and shake gently to remove excess. Allow pretzel to rest on waxed paper until set.
4. Melt the blue, bright green, purple, bright pink, orange candy melts in separate containers. If the candy coating is overheated, it will be too thick. You can add 2 teaspoons of vegetable shortening or coconut oil to help thin the candy but do not add any other type of liquid as the candy will seize and harden.
5. Pour one color of melted candy over each marshmallow. Tap to remove excess and smooth the candy coating. Immediately dip all sides of the coated marshmallow in coordinating jimmies. Place on wax paper to set.
6. Melt the black candy melts. Then, transfer candy melts to a zip-top freezer bag or disposable piping bag with the corner snipped. Drizzle candy coating over the pretzel rods.
7. Let pretzel rods dry completely before packaging or serving.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature. Placing in the refrigerator may cause the pretzel to soften.
