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!

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!!

Gretchen @ Two Healthy Kitchens says
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!
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
LOL! Thank you Gretchen!

These are so FUN! I love your tip on using a pint sized glass to dipped the pretzel in the chocolate. Thanks for sharing, pinned 🙂
Trish - Mom On Timeout says

Donna says
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!!
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Definitely try again Donna! It does take a lot of shaking to get the excess off but it’s worth it for picture-perfect wands 🙂
Dorothy @ Crazy for Crust says
I can eat pretzel wands like nobodies business. These are so pretty, I love how the colors pop!
Trish - Mom On Timeout says
Same here. Totally addicting 🙂 Thanks Dorothy!
