Or instead of drizzling with caramel you can take milk or dark chocolate pretzels and drizzle them with white chocolate–or even white chocolate colored pink! Selecting and Melting Chocolate Chocolate vs Candy MeltsĬandy melts are chocolate-like and very easy to work with but they are not usually real chocolate (there are some exceptions). This will add flavor and soften the chocolate enough to add the nuts and sprinkles. Immediately after drizzling, sprinkle with sprinkles and (optional) chopped nuts. Either melt store bought caramels in the microwave with just a little water (too much and you’ll end up with liquid syrup), or make a thick version of my homemade caramel dip.Ī few at a time, drizzle the chocolate dipped pretzel rods with the molten caramel. If you are using caramel, let the chocolate dipped pretzel rods cool in the refrigerator while you prepare the caramel. If you are not adding caramel, add the sprinkles now, while the chocolate is still soft. There may be some pooling of chocolate on the parchment, but I actually think it make them look more indulgent. Hold in the air for a few seconds to partially harden, then set on parchment to dry. Hold the pretzel rod over the chocolate melting bowl and turn while spooning chocolate over it. Ideally keep the temperature of white/milk chocolate to 88F or less and dark to 91F or less (see Selecting and Working with chocolate below). Stir in the chopped chocolate pieces and microwave in brief bursts, stirring in between until just melted. In a microwave, slowly get the cocoa butter or coconut oil partly melted. If they are in small pieces, they will melt much better. To start, you chop the chocolate and cocoa butter (if using). You should be able to use a silpat too.Ĭhocolate dipped pretzel rods are actually quite easy to make. You will set the chocolate dipped pretzels on parchment to cool and harden. This is the most reliable way to melt the chocolate. If you don’t want to try keeping the chocolate tempered, you won’t need a thermometer but it is recommended. You can also use a different nut but the light cashew color is a good compliment. Caramel can add to the flavor of the loaded pretzel rods.

Add in some crunch from the pretzel and you are over the top!Ĭheery and Seasonal. Nowadays, the combination of sweet and salty is famous.
