Yield 20 pretzel sticks

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 ounces white chocolate chips
2 tablespoons coconut oil
1/2 cup mixed orange and chocolate sprinkles
1/2 cup mixed orange and chocolate sprinkles
1/2 cup toasted shredded coconut
1/2 cup crushed peanuts
10 rounds of caramel from a 6.5-ounce package of caramel apple wraps
Nonstick cooking spray
20 long thick pretzel rods (about 7 1/2 inches long)

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Melt the chocolate chips with the coconut oil in a small double boiler or in the microwave. Put the sprinkles, coconut and peanuts on 3 plates or a baking sheet.
Remove the paper from the caramel rounds and use the paper or parchment paper to line a baking sheet. Spray the paper lightly with cooking spray. Use sharp kitchen scissors to cut each caramel round in half.
Holding the caramel lengthwise, wrap the top half of each pretzel stick, pressing the seam to secure. Place the wrapped pretzel sticks seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet and place in the oven to slightly melt the caramel and allow it to adhere to the pretzels, about 5 minutes.
Working quickly, press the pretzels into the toppings of your choice, turning to make sure all sides are coated. Drizzle with the white chocolate mixture. Let cool completely.
Arrange the pretzels sticks in glasses for serving.
