Finding Dory was one of our favorite movies from this past year. The entire family was excited when the DVD showed up on our doorstep from our friends at Disney. To celebrate it’s arrival and our Finding Dory movie night I decided to make some quick Finding Dory pretzels.
I started by making the Dory pretzel rods and then I decided that I also wanted to make Nemo pretzels, too. No mess and something you can easily eat with your fingers they were the perfect movie night snack.I have a decent stash of baking and decorating supplies so I had everything on hand that was needed to make them. In case you’re not quite the pack rat I am I’ve included a few affiliate links to help you track down the required items.
Finding Dory Pretzels

Pretzel rods (can be found at the dollar store)
Orange candy melts
Royal blue candy melts
Black food marker
Candy eyeballs
Almond bark
Tutorial
For the Dory pretzels:
- In a 2-cup microwave safe glass measuring cup melt the royal blue candy melts in the microwave for 20 seconds; stir. Return to microwave and heat in 15-20 second intervals until mostly melted. Stir until completely smooth.
- Dip pretzel rods into melted chocolate and coat, leaving an inch or so at the bottom of the pretzel rod bare.
- Add an edible googly eye and set aside to dry completely.
For the Nemo pretzels:
- In a 2-cup microwave safe glass measuring cup melt the orange candy melts in the microwave for 20 seconds; stir. Return to the microwave and heat in 15-20 second intervals until mostly melted. Stir until completely smooth.
- Dip pretzel rods into melted chocolate and coat, leaving an inch or so at the bottom of the pretzel rod bare.
- Add an edible googly eye.
- Melt 2-3 squares of vanilla bark or white chocolate. Use a spoon to drizzle white strips along the length of the Nemo pretzels.
- Use a candy melt marker to trace a black line on either side of the white stripes.
