Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 24 pretzel rods
- 2 cups white candy melts
- ¼ cup fall nonpareil sprinkles
Instructions
- Melt Chocolate: Use a double boiler to gently melt the white candy melts, stirring occasionally until smooth and completely melted. This prevents the chocolate from burning and ensures a glossy finish.
- Prepare Workstation: Line a baking tray or sheet with parchment paper for placing the dipped pretzels to set. Pour the fall nonpareil sprinkles onto a wide plate long enough to accommodate the length of the pretzel rods.
- Dip Pretzel Rods: Pour the melted white chocolate into a tall mug or heat-proof thin glass. One at a time, dip each pretzel rod into the melted chocolate, then roll them immediately in the sprinkles to coat evenly.
- Set Pretzels: Place the decorated pretzel rods onto the lined baking tray. Repeat the dipping and sprinkling for all pretzel rods.
- Chill: Transfer the tray to the refrigerator and allow the chocolate to set completely, which will take about 10-15 minutes.
- Store and Serve: Once set, transfer the chocolate dipped pretzel rods to an airtight container until ready to enjoy.
Notes
- This recipe is ideal for fall-themed occasions like Halloween or Thanksgiving but can be customized for any event with different sprinkles or candy melts.
- The chocolate can be substituted with milk or dark candy melts if preferred.
- Use a double boiler to ensure gentle melting without scorching the chocolate.
- Store pretzel rods in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
