    September 15, 2014 By Brandy 2 Comments

    How to make chocolate covered pretzels! These make great gifts and are so easy to make in chocolate of white chocolate.

    We have a friend that we wanted to make a special Thank You treat for. She went above and beyond as a Sunday School/Primary teacher so I decided to make her some chocolate covered pretzels. She also happens to be the secretary at our Elementary School so we had fun delivering these to her desk after school.

    Chocolate pretzels are the easiest treat to make! I always have a bag of pretzels and (this is a bit embarrassing) at least 5 or 6 bags of melting chocolate in my cupboard. I use melting chocolate a lot! It's so great to use on pretzels, strawberries, toffee, etc. And more often than not, I will melt ½ cup of it and quickly dip a bunch of pretzels for a late-night "snack" or binge. Whatever you want to call it.

    How to Make Chocolate Covered Pretzels

    I like the Ghirardelli chocolates that they sell at Sam's in resealable bags during the holidays. Wilton makes melting chocolates too. I like these better than melting chocolate chips because these microwave perfectly, are smooth, and harden up quickly.

    It really is as easy as:

    1. Melting the chocolate: low and slow is key. 15-20 increments in the microwave, stirring in between each increment until melted and smooth.
    2. Dipping the pretzels: dip the pretzels into the chocolate using a fork or dipping tool. Tap the fork against the side of the bowl to allow the excess to drip off.
    3. Wait for everything to set up: place dipped pretzels on a baking sheet that has been lined with wax or parchment paper to set up. Placing the tray into the refrigerator will speed up this process!

    (I made this bakery gift box using my Evolution Die Cut machine, but the die cut for this box is no longer in production. I've updated this post to include these cute craft boxes that you can decorate and fill with chocolate-covered pretzels if you'd like OR you can make your own window bags for treats using a lunch sack like I did in this post. Lunch bags are great for so many things!)

    I filled up a cellophane bag with pretzels and closed them up in the bakery box.

    And of course I made a tray of pretzels for the kids and I to eat after school too.
