- White chocolate or white yogurt covered pretzels

- Ice Cream – I used patriotic colored ice cream from Target but Vanilla tasted better with the pretzels in my opinion

How to Make Patriotic Pretzel Ice Cream Sandwiches:
Decorate the Top Pretzels:
- Start with white yogurt or white chocolate-covered pretzels as your base. Melt red candy melts and drizzle it over the pretzels to look like the red stripes of the American flag. Allow it to set.
- Next, dip one corner of each pretzel in melted blue candy melts.
- To make it even more flag-like, sprinkle star-shaped sprinkles over the blue.
- Allow the candy melts to harden.
Assemble the Pretzel Ice Cream Sandwiches
- Using a mini cookie scoop, make a scoop of ice cream and place it on the bottom pretzel. Top it off with the beautifully decorated pretzel to create your ice cream sandwich.
- If you are using vanilla ice cream and want a little more color, consider rolling the edges of the ice cream sandwiches in patriotic sprinkles.
