Sweet and Salty Popcorn Pretzel Sticks

Listen, this isn't Egyptian street food, but even my mother would approve of this sweet chaos. Spread peanut butter over each pretzel rod, leaving about 2 inches at the bottom for a clean handle.

Roll and press the peanut butter-coated pretzel into popped popcorn until it's completely covered. Press firmly — you want those kernels to stick like they're glued on.

Hit it with candy sprinkles while the peanut butter is still sticky.

For the chocolate drizzle (and why wouldn't you?): dump chocolate chips into a small plastic bag and seal it tight.

Microwave for 30 seconds until the chocolate melts. No shortcuts here — check it doesn't burn.

Snip a tiny corner off the bag and squeeze to drizzle chocolate over your popcorn-crusted pretzels like you're decorating a cake in Zamalek.

Hit them with more sprinkles while the chocolate is wet, then let everything set until the chocolate hardens.
