Tips:

  • For a sweeter coating, use white chocolate or semisweet chocolate chips.
  • To add a touch of flavor, try using flavored chocolate chips, such as mint or peanut butter.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can check the temperature of the chocolate by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If the chocolate hardens immediately, it is ready to use.
  • To make the pretzels easier to coat, place them in the freezer for 10 minutes before dipping them in the chocolate.
  • If you are having trouble getting the chocolate to stick to the pretzels, try using a toothpick to spread it around.
  • Once the pretzels are coated in chocolate, place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Candy-coated pretzels are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a sweet and salty snack that everyone will love. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy dessert, give candy-coated pretzels a try.
