Ingredients

10 oz. Ghriradelli's white chocolate melting wafers
⅓ cup black candy melts sweet tooth fairy
10 Pretzel rods
1 teaspoon gold and silver star sprinkles
½ teaspoon edible gold glitter

Instructions

Melt the white chocolate melting wafers as directed on the bag. Cover the ebd of the pretzel with white chocolate by scooping some over with a spoon and rolling the pretzel. Lightly tap the side of pretzel to get the excess chocolate off. Place on parchment paper.
Quickly add gold and silver star sprinkles and gold dust over three pretzels each.
Melt the black candy melts as directed. Drizzle over three more pretzels. Let dry.
Serve for a fun treat on New Year's Eve or New Years Day.

Notes

Do not overheat the chocolate or candy melts. I like to use the microwave, but chocolate melting wafers will hold their shape even once they melt. For best results, check and stir the candy every ten to twenty seconds so that the chocolate doesn't scorch and clump together.

If your chocolate is melted carefully and still clumps, check the expiration date. White chocolate bought last year will not work for this year as it does go bad after expiration.

Work with a partner to make sure you get all of the pretzels dipped and all the sprinkles added before the chocolate starts to harden. This is a great job for teens and tweens in the kitchen!

You cannot add liquid food coloring or extracts to white chocolate. It will cause the chocolate or candy melts to sieze. It is best to buy the color of candy melts you want, or buy specialty food colorings and oil-based flavoring.
