PRETZEL CANDY

Categories     Other Snacks

Number Of Ingredients 3

24 oz. white chocolate
2 cups chopped peanuts
2 cups salted broken pretzel sticks

Steps:

  • 1. Melt chocolate in double boiler. As soon as it melts-add other ingredients. After candy cools-spoon drop onto wax paper.

Tips:

  • Prep ahead: To save time, you can make the pretzels and the caramel sauce in advance. The pretzels can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days, and the caramel sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
  • Use a good quality chocolate: The chocolate you use for dipping the pretzels will make a big difference in the final product. Look for a chocolate that is at least 60% cacao and has a smooth, creamy texture.
  • Be careful not to overcook the caramel: The caramel sauce should be cooked until it reaches a temperature of 240 degrees Fahrenheit. If you cook it for too long, it will become too thick and hard.
  • Dip the pretzels in the chocolate immediately: The chocolate will start to set quickly, so it's important to dip the pretzels in the chocolate as soon as they are out of the caramel sauce.
  • Let the pretzels cool completely before serving: The chocolate needs time to set completely before you can serve the pretzels. Let them cool for at least 30 minutes before enjoying.

Conclusion:

Pretzel candy is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a sweet and salty snack that is sure to satisfy your cravings. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy dessert or a fun project to do with your kids, pretzel candy is a great option.
