Gourmet Chocolate Dipped Pretzel Rods

Recipe #139694 | 33 min | 30 min prep | 30 chocolate pretzels (Change Servings)

I make these often for bake sales and around the holidays. They are so adaptable for any special event and great for all ages.

Posted on: Oct 3, 2005

Ingredients

  • 10 ounces pretzel stick (Pretzel RODS)
  • 12 ounces milk chocolate chips (or melting disks)
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional)
  • candy sprinkle (optional)
  • miniature M&M chocolate candies (optional)
  • mini Reese's pieces (optional)
  • chopped peanuts (optional)
  • Directions

    1. 1
      Melt milk chocolate chips in double boiler or in microwave (be careful not to burn in the micro).
    2. 2
      If you are using the white chocolate, wait until later before melting unless you can keep it over warm water.
    3. 3
      Dip each pretzel rod about 2/3 of the way up in chocolate.
    4. 4
      Lay on wax paper lined baking sheets, lining up the rods but leave a bit of space between them.
    5. 5
      Allow to set a little, but not completely dry (while waiting, make sure your white chocolate is ready).
    6. 6
      Dip a fork into the white chocolate and drizzle over the milk chocolate by gently swishing the fork back and forth over the rods but not touching them.
    7. 7
      Place your sprinkles or candies on a paper plate and roll each pretzel rod in desired topping (or just sprinkle on).
    8. 8
      Lay back on wax paper to set completely.
    9. 9
      These look great displayed in, or given in, a unique glass or mug.

    Sooooo Goooood. We used white chocolate. We left some plain, some rolled in chopped nuts, sprinkles and chopped toffee. A great addition to our holiday trays. However, i have been informed that I cannot wait for the holidays to make these again...LOL Stephanie

    This is the 2nd time that I've made these, I thought I posted the review but I didn't. These looked great in the gift baskets that I made for family members. Thanx Karen.

    Though I haven't made your exact recipe, I make these often too. You are right that they are great around the holidays and make great gifts for neighbors, teachers, bus drivers...etc. They look impressive for how easy they are. Also try dipping them in caramel, then rolling in pecans, then dipping in chocolate and drizzling with white chocolate!! Yummy!!

    Try drying the rods in a glass instead of on the wax paper. It works GREAT!
