In heavy saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup and butter. Bring just to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Continue boiling, without stirring, at a moderate-steady rate for 4 minutes.

Pour 1 cup caramel into a 1 cup glass measuring cup. Quickly dip each pretzel halfway into caramel. Allow excess to drip off. Place on waxed paper lined baking sheets; let stand until hardened.

In a microwave-safe bowl or measuring cup, melt white candy coating. Dip half of the caramel-coated pretzels into coating. Melt milk chocolate coating; dip remaining pretzels.
