Directions:<\/strong><\/span><\/em>
\n\"\"<\/a> 1. Space the pretzel rods evenly on a cookie tray and place them in the freezer for about five minutes.<\/span>
\n 2. While the pretzel rods are in the freezer, melt the dark green candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl for one minute.\u00a0 Stir the mixture and microwave for another 30 seconds until fully melted.<\/span>
\n 3. Pour the melted candy into a tall, narrow container to ensure that at least 2\/3 of the pretzel will be coated.<\/span>
\n 4. Remove the pretzel rods from the freezer.\u00a0 Dip each pretzel in the melted candy, tapping the excess off.<\/span>
\n 5. While the dark green candy is setting, use the same method to prepare the white candy melts.<\/span>
\n 6. After the dark green candy has set, pour the white mixture into a squeeze bottle. Use a sweeping motion to drizzle it evenly over the green portions of the pretzel rods.<\/span>
\n 7. Allow the candy to harden completely before placing the candy-coated pretzel in a clear cellophane lollipop bag and tying it<\/span> with a seasonal piece of ribbon or candy bag topper.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
