Ingredients:

• 1 package (16 oz.) Vanilla CANDIQUIK® Coating
• 24 Pretzel Rods
• Cake writing icing
• Ziploc bag (or piping bag if you have one)

Directions:

1. Melt the CANDIQUIK according to the package directions.
2. Pour the melted Vanilla coating into a plastic ziploc bag (or piping bag if you have one)
3. Snip one corner off of the plastic bag. You want the hole to be somewhat large to get a thicker flow of coating but not too large so you cannot control the flow.
4. Drizzle the coating back and forth over about 3/4 of each pretzel rod, leaving a small empty space for the eyes.
5. Draw eyes on with cake writing icing (or a Black Edible Marker from Americolor Gourmet Writer)
