Steps:
- DOUBLE BOILER METHOD: Fill lower pan with water to below level of top pan. Bring water to simmer, then remove from heat. Put Candy Melts in top pan and set in position on lower pan. Stir constantly, without beating, until smooth and completely melted.
- MICROWAVE METHOD: In microwave-safe container, microwave 1 package of Candy Melts at half power or defrost setting for 1 minute. Stir throughly. Continue to microwave and stir at 30 second intervals until smooth and completely melted.
- With a fork or dipping spoon, place pretzels into completely melted chocolate. Roll around gently but quickly with the dipper until well covered. Carefully remove and allow excess to drip off and then place on waxed paper to set.
- Drizzle with coloring melts (red & green) for added decoration.
- Leave pretzels to sit for 30 minutes until firm.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate for dipping. This will make a big difference in the taste of your wreath.
- Make sure your pretzels are fresh. Stale pretzels will not hold up well when dipped in chocolate.
- If you are using a mold, make sure it is well-greased before you pour in the chocolate. This will prevent the chocolate from sticking.
- Be patient when dipping the pretzels. It takes a little time to get the hang of it, but once you do, you'll be able to dip them quickly and easily.
- If you are using sprinkles or other decorations, add them immediately after dipping the pretzels. This will help them to adhere to the chocolate.
- Let the pretzels cool completely before serving. This will help the chocolate to set and harden.
Conclusion:
Chocolate-dipped pretzel wreaths are a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a little creativity, you can create a wreath that is sure to impress your friends and family.
