Chocolate peanut butter pretzel wands are a fun and whimsical candy treat. Pretzel rods are drizzled in a sweet peanut butter confection, coated in chocolate, and decorated with magical sprinkles and stars.
In a small bowl, combine peanut butter and confectioner's sugar. Spoon into a plastic bag and cut off one corner, creating a piping bag. Set aside.
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and lay pretzel rods 1 inch apart, allowing pretzels to roll until they lay naturally. Carefully pipe peanut butter mixture onto the tops of each pretzel rod in a swirl or zig zag pattern, stopping about ⅔ of the way down each rod. Freeze baking sheet for 15 minutes, or until peanut butter is firm.
In a tall, thin microwaveable glass (like a drinking glass or highball glass), microwave chocolate and coconut oil in 30 second increments until melted. stir to combine.
Dip each pretzel rod into the chocolate, making sure to cover all of the peanut butter swirls. If needed, tilt the glass and roll the pretzel rod over the chocolate to coat all sides. Tap to remove excess chocolate. Place on baking sheet, peanut butter side up.
Add sprinkles and decorations immediately, before chocolate dries.
Refrigerate for 20 minutes, or until chocolate has set completely. Serve and enjoy.
