- 1/4 cup royal icing or melted chocolate (for assembly)
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare your workspace by clearing the counter and gathering all ingredients.

- Step 3: Attach two chocolate-covered pretzels on each side of the Reese’s using royal icing or melted chocolate as glue to form the wheels.

- Step 5: Drizzle or dip each race car in the melted colorful candy coating to decorate.

Tips & Variations
- Use different colors of candy coating to create a vibrant race car lineup.
- Substitute candy eyes with small edible decorations like sprinkles or mini chocolate chips.
- If royal icing isn’t available, melted white or dark chocolate works well as glue for assembly.
- For extra festive fun, add small paper bunny ears attached with toothpicks.
Storage
Store the finished race cars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Avoid refrigerating, as this can cause the candy coating to lose its shine. To refresh before serving, let them sit at room temperature if stored cool.
How to Serve
Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.
FAQs
Can I use regular pretzels instead of chocolate-covered ones?
Yes, regular pretzels can be used, but the chocolate-covered pretzels add extra sweetness and help the wheels blend visually with the race cars.
What if I don’t have royal icing?
Melted chocolate is a great alternative to royal icing for gluing the parts together and works just as well.
