I have SO been wanting to do a rainbow recipe! Rainbows are just ridiculously fun and so perfect for St. Patrick’s Day! I wanted to do something quick. Something easy. Something that would make my kids say, “Oh wow, Mommy is just the best!”

These Rainbow Pretzel Wands totally fit the bill.

I used full-sized pretzel rods, dipped them in candy coating, and then sprinkled on the magic. I pulled out all sorts of colorful sprinkles from my cabinet and ended up using most of them 🙂

A couple quick tips:

  • Line at least two baking sheets with waxed paper before getting started.
  • Clear off an entire countertop or table. You’ll need the space.
  • Have a variety of sprinkles so the kids can choose their favorites.
  • Use a pint glass to dip the pretzel rods.
  • Shake, shake, shake the excess candy coating off. If you don’t, you will have a gloppy mess instead of perfect rainbow wands!

I made just enough for the boys to take to their class as a special treat. I’m pretty sure my boys just got a tad more popular 😉

I even made up some Leprechaun Wands! I LOOOOOVE these ones! This was a mix of green jimmies and white snowflakes of all things 🙂  Check out your dollar section in Target for some great little tubs of sprinkles.

    I have been making pretzel rods for many years. If you want to keep your chocolate smooth all the way around, take either egg cartons or Styrofoam meat trays; punch a small hole (it’s a trial/error) to set the rod in so it stands up. Has worked great for me.

    Love, love, love these!! Chocolate covered pretzels are my favorite!! Curious where you found those sprinkles! Everything I find has the white pieces in there and I’m not a fan. Also, what does that package call these types of sprinkles? I know if jimmies and nonperiels but can’t find these chip type anywhere online! Thanks!!

      Thanks Meredith! The sprinkles are called confetti and I’m pretty sure I got them at a local grocery store. I’ve also seen them called coins before I believe. Maybe do I search for those terms. Good luck!

    I’ve made these at Christmas with dark chocolate and crushed nuts…but your version is SO much more fun!! Love the colors – my daughter will love these! My teenage boys will probably eat a few too 😉 Thanks for sharing, I pinned 🙂

    These are so bright and lovely – I can’t wait for Spring! I’m so done with winter, but as I sit here we’re getting another 2-4 inches. Sigh. These are super cute, though! I bet my kiddos would have making them with me! I pinned them to my St. Patrick’s day board. Your photos are so awesome!!

    Thank goodness an easy St. Patrick’s snack that doesn’t require me to crank up the oven or drag out my mixer…lol. I may use it in a St. Patty’s Day roundup…is that okay?

    Oh I love all of your pictures! All 200!! 🙂

    These are great – I made some a few years back for Christmas. But I love your tips about using a pint glass! Genius! I was spooning the chocolate over the rods in a shallow dish. Your method is way better – way.better. Can’t wait to get some more sprinkles! I’m seeing some rainbow pretzel rods in my future!

    I love these!! So cute. But I have to say I have never been able to make pretzel sticks without the blob on the wax paper. I always think I hold them long enough but then– well it ain’t pretty. I may try again. You’ve inspired me!!
