Chocolate Covered Pretzels
Description
The recipe melts semi-sweet chocolate until smooth, then coats both pretzel rods and pretzel twists by spooning the chocolate over them. Excess chocolate drips off to avoid pooling. Sprinkles can be added immediately after coating for color and added texture.
After coating, the pretzels are placed on parchment paper and chilled in the freezer briefly to harden the chocolate. This quick chilling helps the chocolate set evenly. Proper handling ensures the chocolate covers each pretzel without overwhelming the handle area to maintain ease of eating.
The finished pretzels are crisp, combining the crunch of the pretzel with the glossy, firm chocolate layer and optional festive sprinkles. They can be stored in airtight containers for several days, keeping their texture and flavor.
Ingredients
- 12 ounces pretzel rods
- 12 ounces pretzel twists
- 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate I prefer Ghiradelli
- Sprinkles seasonal for extra fun, assorted
Instructions
- DIRECTIONS
- Melt the chocolates in double boiler or in the microwave according to package directions until completely melted and smooth.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper
- Spoon the chocolate over the pretzel, leaving a few inches uncovered for a handle
- Allow the excess chocolate to drip off the pretzels by gently shaking and twisting the pretzel over the bowl to avoid the chocolate pooling under the pretzel or into the toppings.
- Immediately cover chocolate with desired toppings and place on parchment paper.
- Place in the freezer for about 10 minutes.
- Store in an air tight container for several days.
- ENJOY!!
