Ingredients
  

Flower Components
  • 96 mini twist pretzels unbroken
  • 1 cup pink candy melts
  • 1 cup light blue candy melts
  • 1 cup purple candy melts
  • 24 yellow candy melts or M&M's for the flower centers

Equipment

  • Baking sheets
  • Parchment paper
  • Microwave-safe bowls
  • Forks

Method
 

  1. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or wax paper.
  2. Melt the pink, blue, and purple candy melts in separate microwave-safe bowls in 30-second intervals at 50% power, stirring until completely smooth.
  3. Using a fork, dip a mini pretzel into the melted candy coating until fully submerged. Lift and tap the fork against the bowl to remove excess chocolate.
  4. Place the coated pretzel flat on the parchment paper. Quickly dip three more pretzels in the same color and arrange them in a circle with the bottom points touching to form a four-petal flower.
  5. While the candy coating is still wet, gently press a yellow candy melt into the center where all four pretzels meet to act as the flower's center.
  6. Repeat this process with all colors until you have created all your flowers.
  7. Allow the pretzel flowers to set at room temperature for 20-30 minutes, or until the chocolate is completely hardened, before peeling them off the parchment paper and serving.

Notes

Work with one color of candy melts at a time so it does not harden in the bowl while you are dipping. If the chocolate gets too thick, microwave it for another 10 seconds.
