Chocolate Covered Pretzels For Easter (Print Version)
Sweet and salty pretzel rods dipped in chocolate with festive Easter sprinkles
# What You'll 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 Steps:
01 - Line a baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
02 - Place semi-sweet chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each interval until completely smooth. Repeat this process separately with the white chocolate in another bowl.
03 - Hold each pretzel rod and dip approximately two-thirds of its length into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess coating to drip back into the bowl.
04 - Transfer the dipped pretzels to the prepared baking sheet. While the chocolate remains wet, generously apply Easter sprinkles or drizzle with melted candy melts for added visual appeal.
05 - Let the chocolate-covered pretzels set at room temperature for approximately 30 minutes, or refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to accelerate the setting process.
06 - Once the chocolate has completely hardened, transfer the pretzels to an airtight container and store at cool room temperature for up to one week.
