Chocolate Covered Pretzels For Easter (Printable View)

Sweet and salty pretzel rods coated in melted chocolate and topped with festive Easter sprinkles. Ready in 25 minutes.

# 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 create a clean surface for the dipped pretzels.
02 - Place semi-sweet chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until completely smooth. Repeat this process separately with the white chocolate.
03 - Hold each pretzel rod and dip approximately two-thirds of its length into the melted chocolate. Lift and allow excess chocolate to drip off back into the bowl.
04 - Immediately place dipped pretzels on the prepared tray. While chocolate remains wet, generously coat with Easter sprinkles or drizzle with melted candy melts for decorative effect.
05 - Allow pretzels to rest at room temperature for approximately 30 minutes until chocolate firms completely. For accelerated setting, refrigerate for 10-15 minutes.
06 - Transfer finished pretzels to an airtight container. Store at cool room temperature for optimal freshness up to one week.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The satisfying snap of chocolate giving way to crunchy pretzel is somehow addictive in the best possible way
  • They look impressive but take about 25 minutes from start to finish
  • The sweet and salty combination makes everyone reach for just one more
02 -
  • Chocolate seizes when even a drop of water gets into it, so make sure all your utensils are completely dry before melting
  • The pretzels taste best within the first 3 days — after that, the salt starts to permeate the chocolate and changes the flavor profile
03 -
  • If your chocolate is too thick for dipping, stir in 1 teaspoon of coconut oil or vegetable oil to thin it out
  • Work in small batches of 5 pretzels at a time so the chocolate stays warm and workable
