Here's what you need: milk chocolate, butter, golden syrup, pretzel

Provided by Tasty

Categories     Desserts

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 4

½ cup milk chocolate, or dark chocolate, broken into small pieces
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons golden syrup
¾ cup pretzel, crushed, plus more for decoration

Steps:

  • Make a bain-marie by filling a pot with a little water. Rest a heatproof bowl on the rim of the pot, making sure that the water doesn't touch the bottom of the bowl.
  • Cook on a low heat and when the water starts to simmer add the chocolate, butter, and golden syrup to the heatproof bowl and allow it to melt - when it's nearly there, give it a quick stir and take it off the heat.
  • Stir the crushed pretzels in to the chocolate mixture.
  • Line a muffin tin with muffin cases - if you have the time, you can line each muffin case with 5 pretzels to form a little holder for the mixture. one on the base, and 4 walls, but this isn't totally necessary, the mixture will hold on it's own when set. A single pretzel on top is a fairly good compromise!
  • Fill the muffin cases with the chocolate mixture and allow to set in the fridge for at least 1 hour.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use a variety of pretzels: This will give your crust a more complex flavor and texture. You can use any type of pretzel you like, but some popular choices include salted, unsalted, and honey wheat.
  • Crush the pretzels finely: This will help them to adhere to the butter and create a more cohesive crust. You can use a food processor or a rolling pin to crush the pretzels.
  • Use melted butter: This will help the pretzels to stick together and form a solid crust. You can melt the butter in the microwave or on the stovetop.
  • Press the crust firmly into the pan: This will help to prevent it from crumbling when you cut it.
  • Chill the crust before baking: This will help it to set and make it easier to handle.
  • Bake the crust until it is golden brown: This will give it a nice flavor and texture.

Conclusion:

A pretzel crust is a delicious and versatile way to add flavor and texture to your favorite desserts. It is easy to make and can be used with a variety of fillings. Whether you are making a pie, tart, or cheesecake, a pretzel crust is sure to be a hit.
