1 cup Red Candy Melts – Melted to create the red stripes.

1 cup Blue Candy Melts – Used for the ‘star section’ of the flag.

White Star Sprinkles – The finishing touch! These add the ‘stars’ detail, plus a little crunch and festive look.

How to Make 4th of July Flag Pretzels

Lay out 12 yogurt covered pretzels on parchment paper.

Melt 1 cup red candy melts in the microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring between each interval. Drizzle over the pretzels to make them look like stripes.

Let harden.

Melt 1 cup blue candy melts in the microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring between each interval. Let sit until cooled some, but still soft enough to dunk in. (If you dunk the pretzels in the melted blue candy melts right away, it will melt the red stripes.)

When ready, dunk the top left hand part of the pretzel into it. Lay on the parchment paper.

Sprinkle with white star sprinkles.

Let harden.
