Star Wars Pretzel Lightsabers Food

LIGHTSABER PRETZELS

Steps:

• Place each color of candy melts into separate microwave-safe bowls. Working with 1 color at a time, heat in microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth. Dip 10 pretzel rods in each blue, green and red melted candy coating, stopping 2 inches from end; allow excess to drip off. Immediately roll in matching colored sugar. Let stand on a parchment-lined pan until set. Reheat candy coating as needed. Adding 1 teaspoon at a time, stir melted black candy coating into the white until desired shade of gray is achieved; reserve remaining melted black candy coating. Dip the uncoated end of the pretzel rods into melted gray candy coating for handle; allow excess to drip off. Return to parchment-lined pan until set. Place reserved melted black candy coating into a piping bag fitted with a small round tip; pipe 3 lines onto handle. For power buttons, secure M&M's minis to handles with melted black candy coating. Allow to set completely before serving. Store at room temperature in an airtight container between layers of waxed paper.

STAR WARS PRETZEL LIGHTSABERS

Steps:

• In a double boiler, melt your white chocolate.
• Prepare three separate smaller bowls and divide the white chocolate evenly.
• Add your food coloring (red, green, and blue) to each of the bowls of white chocolate, so you have three bowls each with a separate color. Note: if you are using liquid food coloring your white chocolate may seize, so it's best to use gel. However, if you are using liquid food coloring, be prepared to gently reheat your chocolate so it can better mix with the food color.
• Dip your pretzel rods into the chocolate, one chocolate color per pretzel; leaving a small amount uncovered at the base. Tap the pretzel gently over the bowl to remove any excess chocolate.
• Let dry on a parchment lined baking sheet.
