Time 33m

Yield 30 chocolate pretzels

Number Of Ingredients 7

10 ounces pretzel sticks (Pretzel RODS)
12 ounces milk chocolate chips (or melting disks)
1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional)
candy sprinkles (optional)
miniature M&M's chocolate candies (optional)
mini Reese's pieces (optional)

Steps:

  • Melt milk chocolate chips in double boiler or in microwave (be careful not to burn in the micro).
  • If you are using the white chocolate, wait until later before melting unless you can keep it over warm water.
  • Dip each pretzel rod about 2/3 of the way up in chocolate.
  • Lay on wax paper lined baking sheets, lining up the rods but leave a bit of space between them.
  • Allow to set a little, but not completely dry (while waiting, make sure your white chocolate is ready).
  • Dip a fork into the white chocolate and drizzle over the milk chocolate by gently swishing the fork back and forth over the rods but not touching them.
  • Place your sprinkles or candies on a paper plate and roll each pretzel rod in desired topping (or just sprinkle on).
  • Lay back on wax paper to set completely.
  • These look great displayed in, or given in, a unique glass or mug.

LINDA'S CHOCOLATE DIPPED PRETZEL RODS



Linda's Chocolate Dipped Pretzel Rods image

Looking for something fun to make for Valentine's Day or Easter? Grab your holiday sprinkles, and have fun! These are a yummy treat for kids and adults alike! I made these for co-workers and family members during the holidays, and put some in gift baskets for Christmas. You can also change the M&M's and use the pastel colored ones for Easter to put in the kiddies Easter Baskets... You can make them for any of the holidays, by just using different holiday jimmies and candies... I wrapped in green and red saran wrap and tied with a coordinating ribbon for Christmas. They look pretty enough to put on top of Christmas presents or packages, use as party favors for kids, or as a place setting using a name tag tied with a ribbon to each one, so the kids know where their seats are. I have dipped them in caramel and then chocolate and sprinkled with nuts and M&M's. I have also used chopped candy bars such as Butterfingers. You could even use the little cinnamon hot red candies for Valentine's Day! Or put those cute candy hearts with the little sayings down the front with some sprinkles. The sky is the limit. Use your imagination, and I am sure they will work fine for you too. Great to do as a fun day with the kiddies too!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will have a big impact on the final product. Look for chocolate that is at least 60% cacao and has a smooth, creamy texture.
  • Tempering the chocolate is essential: Tempering the chocolate ensures that it has a smooth, glossy finish and a firm snap. To temper chocolate, melt it slowly and then cool it, stirring constantly, until it reaches the desired temperature.
  • Use a variety of toppings: Don't limit yourself to just one type of topping. Get creative and use a variety of nuts, candies, and sprinkles to add flavor and texture to your pretzels.
  • Let the pretzels cool completely: Before you dip the pretzels in the chocolate, make sure they are completely cool. This will help the chocolate to adhere better.
  • Store the pretzels in a cool, dry place: Once the pretzels are dipped in chocolate, they can be stored in a cool, dry place for up to 2 weeks.
