Instructions
Add 1 cup of each color of candy melts into separate microwave-safe bowls.
Add 1 or 2 teaspoons of vegetable shortening to each bowl of candy melts. (You may want to use more depending on how thin you want the melted candy.)
Microwave the melts in 30 second intervals, stirring each time in between until the melts are smooth and creamy.
Place a large sheet of wax paper over a hard surface.
Dip and cover each pretzel covering about a third of the surface or useĀ a spoon to pour the candy melts over the pretzels.
Tap the pretzel on the side of the bowl to remove excess candy.
Place the dipped pretzels on the wax paper and decorate with candy sprinkles.
