Red, White, and Blue Patriotic Dessert Recipe
This patriotic dessert recipe is an easy and fun dessert, perfect for your Memorial Day or 4th of July celebrations!
Don’t forget to add fun patriotic star cake pops and patriotic cupcakes to your festivities, too!
Ingredients
- Snyder’s of Hanover Pretzel Rods
- Red chocolate melts
- Blue chocolate melts
- White chocolate melts
- Patriotic sprinkles
- Red, white and blue M&M’s candies (or pick red & blue M&M’s® candies from a regular bag!)
Directions
Begin by dividing your
pretzel rods into three even piles and unpacking your M&M’s candies and sprinkles.
I put them in individual bowls, like always, to make sure things go smoothly once it’s time to rush and get the decorations on before the chocolate hardens.
We’ll be dipping some of the pretzel rods in red, some in white and some in blue chocolate melts.
Melt only one color of chocolate melts at a time.
Tip: I found these dipping containers very helpful! The trick to using them is to melt the chocolate in a bowl and pour (with the assistance of a spoon) the chocolate into the dipping cup.
To coat the pretzel, hold the dipping cup in one hand and tilt it while you coat the pretzel. This way the chocolate goes up towards the top of the container.
Swirl the pretzel in the corner of the box while you’re holding it at an angle.
You can get more than 3/4 of the pretzel coated this way – dipping alone won’t coat very much of the pretzel.
Dip your pretzel rods into the chocolate (see the note above).
Alternatively, you can spoon the chocolate onto the pretzels. Immediately decorate with sprinkles and M&M’s red, white and blue candies.
See! Super easy freedom fries for your patriotic celebrations!
I found it convenient to use the Party Size Red, White, and Blue M&M’s candy bag to hold the pretzel sticks.
Simply roll the top of the bag in and down to create the perfect patriotic pretzel holder!

If you’ve never had chocolate covered pretzel rods, you’re missing out! Try this recipe and let me know what you think!
These are great! They look so fun for kids!
Andrew, this is a great idea for the holiday. I love how you served them in the M&M’s bag too! Have a great day my friend, Catherine
I love to make cherry and blue raspberry jello and put vanilla pudding in between. It’s red, white, and blue deliciousness!
I love the look of these things! They are so unique that anybody bringing them to their 4th of July celebration would be the hit of the picnic.
These are awesome for 4th of July! I will add these to the other desserts we have for the 4th. We usually do eclairs, layered jello with red, white, and blue, and just have a cookout for the entire afternoon.
What a fun dessert. We love making chocolate covered pretzels for Christmas treats.
Those look adorable! They would certainly be a huge hit with my kids!
