Chocolate Covered Pretzels For Easter (Printable Version)

Sweet and salty pretzel rods dipped in chocolate and decorated with festive sprinkles.

# What You Need:

→ Pretzels

01 - 20 large pretzel rods

→ Chocolates

02 - 7 oz semi-sweet chocolate
03 - 7 oz white chocolate

→ Decorations

04 - 2 oz Easter-themed sprinkles
05 - 1.75 oz pastel-colored candy melts (optional)

# How To Make:

01 - Line a baking tray with parchment paper to create a clean surface for dipping and decorating.
02 - Place semi-sweet chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until completely smooth. Repeat the process separately with the white chocolate.
03 - Dip each pretzel rod approximately two-thirds of the way into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess coating to drip back into the bowl.
04 - Transfer dipped pretzels to the prepared tray. Immediately sprinkle with Easter-themed decorations while the chocolate remains wet, or drizzle with melted candy melts for additional color.
05 - Let pretzels stand at room temperature for approximately 30 minutes until chocolate hardens completely. For faster results, refrigerate for 10-15 minutes.
06 - Keep completed pretzels in an airtight container at cool room temperature for up to one week to maintain freshness.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The salty crunch against smooth chocolate hits that perfect sweet and salty spot everyone craves
  • You can customize these for any holiday or celebration just by switching up the sprinkles
  • They come together in under 30 minutes but look impressive enough to gift
02 -
  • Do not get even a single drop of water in your melting chocolate or it will seize and turn into a grainy mess
  • Work in small batches dipping only 3 to 4 pretzels at a time so the chocolate does not start setting before you can decorate
  • If your chocolate thickens while working add a teaspoon of coconut oil to smooth it out again
03 -
  • Microwave chocolate at 50 percent power instead of full power for more control
  • Tap the dipped pretzel gently against the bowl edge to remove excess chocolate before decorating
  • Keep dipped pretzels away from direct sunlight or warm windows while setting
