Chocolate Covered Pretzels Pastel (Printable Format)

Crispy pretzels dipped in chocolate and adorned with pastel sprinkles, ideal for parties or gifts.

# What You Need:

→ Pretzels

01 - 24 mini pretzel twists

→ Chocolate

02 - 7 oz good-quality milk or white chocolate, chopped

→ Topping

03 - 3 tbsp pastel-colored sprinkles

# How-To Steps:

01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
02 - Place chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each interval, until completely smooth and glossy. Alternatively, melt using a double boiler method over simmering water.
03 - Hold each pretzel twist and dip halfway into the melted chocolate, ensuring even coating. Gently shake to remove excess chocolate and allow drips to fall back into the bowl.
04 - Transfer dipped pretzel to the prepared baking sheet. Immediately sprinkle pastel-colored sprinkles over the wet chocolate, pressing lightly to adhere before the coating sets.
05 - Repeat the dipping and sprinkling process with remaining pretzels, working efficiently to ensure chocolate remains fluid for proper coating.
06 - Allow pretzels to set at room temperature for 30-45 minutes until chocolate is firm. For faster results, refrigerate for 15 minutes. Once set, store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • They come together in twenty minutes flat, including the time it takes to find your sprinkles
  • The salty-sweet combo makes people grab another before they've even finished the first
02 -
  • Getting even a drop of water into your melting chocolate will turn it into a grainy, sad mess, so dry everything thoroughly first
  • The sprinkles only stick when the chocolate is still wet, so work with one pretzel at a time and don't dip ahead
03 -
  • If your chocolate seizes, stir in a teaspoon of coconut oil or vegetable oil to smooth it out again
  • Room temperature pretzels work better than cold ones for dipping, so let them sit out for about 10 minutes first
