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 kind of want to just keep inserting more pics.
I have like 200. Couldn’t stop myself.
Egads! Enough already Trish! Okay. I’m stopping now. BUT…you must promise to make these adorable Rainbow Pretzel Wands! They are not only tons of fun, but soooo yummy too!

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.

Can I make these ahead of time and freeze them?
Vicki Pelfrey says
NO……..the pretzel would be ruined by the moisture.

Meredith says
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!!
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
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!
