Chocolate Covered Pretzels - What's on Parker's Plate?

Drizzle with your favorite melting chocolate and toppings

When my favorite camera dude’s birthday was coming up, I asked him what he wanted me to make him….Nutella stuffed cupcakes? Guiltless lemon cheesecake? OMG Bars?

Nope. He just wanted chocolate covered pretzels…cuz as he put it, “there’s nothing like the combo of sweet and salty.” Indeed.

You really only need 2 ingredients– pretzels and melting chocolate, but feel free to decorate them with your favorite toppings– sprinkles, nuts, toffee, whatevah your little heart desires. You can get bags of melting chocolate wafers at Michael’s Craft store, or if you’re local in Atlanta, at Cake Art in Tucker.

You can use pretzel rods for a cool effect— just dip the ends in chocolate and roll them in sprinkles.

Chocolate Covered Pretzels

Ingredients

Pretzels
Bag of melting chocolate wafers
Sprinkles (or your favorite topping)

Instructions

Melt chocolate wafers in 30 second increments in microwave (melt, stir, nuke, melt, stir, nuke) or in a double boiler. Spread melted chocolate over pretzels.

As you can see from the above pic, the chocolate was a bit thick, so I just dumped everything into a big bowl to mix the chocolate over the pretzels evenly.

Then spread on parchment or wax paper and decorate with your favorite toppings. (The chocolate dries quickly, so decorate as soon as you spread them out.) There's an assortment of colored melting chocolates that you can have a blast with-- you could drizzle them in red, white and green chocolate or dip in white chocolate and sprinkle with red and green glitter. The possibilities are endless.
