Construction Man Decorated Pretzels
Make sure to add the double sided hard hat to these fun decorated pretzels.
Ingredients
- 12 pretzel rods
- 1 cup black candy melts
- 1 cup royal blue candy melts
- black sugar sprinkles
- royal blue sugar sprinkles
Instructions
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
Pour black candy melts into a microwave safe bowl. Heat 1 minute, stir. If candy is not creamy heat an additional 30 seconds. Stir until creamy.
Spoon melted black candy a little bit BELOW the center of the pretzel rod down to about 2-3 inches from the bottom tip. This will serve as the workers pants. IMMEDIATELY add the black sugar sprinkles. Place on prepared cookie sheet to harden and continue with the remaining pretzels.
Once the black candy has hardened repeat the process with the royal blue candy and sprinkles, making sure the black and blue meet. The blue will serve as the workers shirt.
Notes
TO SPEED UP THE HARDENING PROCESS, PLACE CANDY COATED PRETZELS IN THE REFRIGERATOR FOR 10 MINUTES OR UNTIL HARDENED.

If you've never tasted popcorn and candy corn together you are in for a treat. It's one of my favorite combos. Oddly reminds me of eating caramel popcorn.
