Categories     Other Snacks

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.

CHOCOLATE COVERED PRETZEL RODS

Everyone goes crazy for these Chocolate Covered Pretzel Rods dipped in melted caramel and chocolate and sprinkled with your favorite toppings.

Provided by Lauren Allen

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 3

40 Pretzel Rods
16 ounces chocolate*
1/2 batch homemade caramel* (, or 1 bag store-bought caramels)

Steps:

  • Prepare two large baking sheets lined with parchment paper.
  • Prepare homemade caramel (or melt store-bought caramels). Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla. Allow homemade caramel to cool for about 15 minutes before dipping.
  • Dip Pretzel Rods in caramel. I use a spoon to scoop the sauce onto the pretzels and turn them as I go. Allow excess sauce to drip off and place the dipped pretzels on a parchment lined baking sheet.
  • After the caramel sets and cools some of it may pool at the base of the pretzel, causing the bottom to be flat. Use your hands to mold the caramel back around the rod (or just roll the rod gently on the parchment paper to smooth it around).
  • Melt chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, on half power, stirring every 30 seconds, until smooth.
  • Pour the chocolate into a tall glass. Dip the caramel-coated pretzels in melted chocolate. You can use a spoon or spatula to help smooth the chocolate up and around if you need to.
  • Lay the dipped pretzels on a parchment lined sheet. While the chocolate is warm, you can sprinkle on a few light weight toppings or sprinkles, if desired.
  • Allow the chocolate to set up before eating or removing from parchment.

Categories     Candy

Time 33m

Yield 30 chocolate pretzels

Number Of Ingredients 7

10 ounces pretzel sticks (Pretzel RODS)
12 ounces milk chocolate chips (or melting disks)
1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional)
candy sprinkles (optional)
miniature M&M's chocolate candies (optional)
mini Reese's pieces (optional)
chopped peanuts (optional)

Steps:

  • Melt milk chocolate chips in double boiler or in microwave (be careful not to burn in the micro).
  • If you are using the white chocolate, wait until later before melting unless you can keep it over warm water.
  • Dip each pretzel rod about 2/3 of the way up in chocolate.
  • Lay on wax paper lined baking sheets, lining up the rods but leave a bit of space between them.
  • Allow to set a little, but not completely dry (while waiting, make sure your white chocolate is ready).
  • Dip a fork into the white chocolate and drizzle over the milk chocolate by gently swishing the fork back and forth over the rods but not touching them.
  • Place your sprinkles or candies on a paper plate and roll each pretzel rod in desired topping (or just sprinkle on).
  • Lay back on wax paper to set completely.
  • These look great displayed in, or given in, a unique glass or mug.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet chocolate.
  • To make your pretzels extra crispy, bake them for an additional 5-10 minutes.
  • If you don't have any sprinkles, you can use chopped nuts or crushed candy canes instead.
  • Be careful not to overcook the chocolate, or it will become thick and difficult to work with.
  • If you're using a double boiler to melt the chocolate, make sure that the water in the bottom pot does not touch the bottom of the top pot.
  • If you don't have a double boiler, you can melt the chocolate in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
  • To make sure that the chocolate hardens quickly, place the pretzels in the refrigerator or freezer for a few minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

Dipped pretzel rods are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a variety of different flavors and toppings to suit your taste. So next time you're looking for a sweet and salty snack, give these dipped pretzel rods a try!
