Ingredients:
- 1 package (16 oz.) Vanilla CANDIQUIK® Coating
- 24 Pretzel Rods
- Cake writing icing
- Ziploc bag (or piping bag if you have one)
Directions:
- Melt the CANDIQUIK according to the package directions.
- Pour the melted Vanilla coating into a plastic ziploc bag (or piping bag if you have one)
- 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.
- Drizzle the coating back and forth over about 3/4 of each pretzel rod, leaving a small empty space for the eyes.
- Draw eyes on with cake writing icing (or a Black Edible Marker from Americolor Gourmet Writer)
