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!

  • I wrapped mine individually in green saran wrap for the holidays, to keep them fresh.

CHOCOLATE DIPPED PRETZEL RODS

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 pkg pretzel rods
1/2 pkg chocolate almond bark (or white)
colored sugars, sprinkles, jimmies, little candies to decorate

Steps:

  • 1. Melt the almond bark over a double boiler. When melted, remove the double boiler to a hot pad (keeping the hot water underneath). Spread waxed paper on a flat surface. Make small piles of your sprinkles/ jimmies/ etc. Dip the pretzel rods about 1/2 way up in the chocolate then roll in the sprinkles. Lay on waxed paper and let sit for a good hour or until chocolate hardens again.
  • 2. If you have left over chocolate, make some nut clusters. I poured in a handful of dry roasted peanuts and made peanut clusters with the excess chocolate. You can use any kind of nuts you have left over from Christmas baking.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate: The better the chocolate, the better the pretzels will taste. Look for chocolate with a high cocoa content (at least 70%) and a smooth, creamy texture.
  • Temper the chocolate: Tempering chocolate is a process that helps to stabilize the cocoa butter, resulting in a smooth, shiny finish. If you don't temper the chocolate, it may seize up and become grainy.
  • Use a variety of toppings: You can use any type of topping you like, such as sprinkles, nuts, or candy. Get creative and have fun!
  • Chill the pretzels before dipping: This will help the chocolate to set more quickly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When you're dipping the pretzels, don't overcrowd the pan. This will make it difficult for the chocolate to set properly.
  • Be patient: It takes time for the chocolate to set completely. Don't rush the process or you'll end up with messy pretzels.

Conclusion:

Chocolate-dipped pretzel rods are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a batch of pretzels that are sure to impress your friends and family. So what are you waiting for? Get started today!
