Ingredients

- 1 cup Cocoa Puffs
- 3 tbsp. Reese’s Peanut Butter Chips
- 3 tbsp. Pretzel Rods

Instructions
- Complete the following step for the red, yellow, and light cocoa candy melts: A Wilton Candy Melt Pot is recommended to heat candy melts. If you do not own a candy melt pot, simply microwave candy melts at 50% for 30 seconds. Stir. Heat at 50% for 30 seconds. Stir. Heat at 50% in 15-second intervals and stir until completely smooth. Do not over heat.
