How to Make Chocolate Dipped Pretzel Rods
- Melt chocolate wafers in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler until smooth.
- Dip each pretzel rod into melted chocolate, twisting to coat evenly.
- Allow excess chocolate to drip off.
- Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Drizzle with white chocolate or additional melted chocolate if desired.
- Sprinkle with candy hearts, red and white sprinkles, or other toppings before chocolate sets.
- Chill in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes until firm.
- Wrap in cellophane bags with a ribbon for gifting or serving.
Storage Tips
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
- Keep in a cool place away from direct sunlight to prevent melting.
- Can also refrigerate for longer storage, but may lose a bit of crispness.
Customizable Ideas
- Change sprinkles and candy colors to match birthdays, Easter, Christmas, or baby showers.
- Mix toppings for texture and flavor — nuts, mini M&Ms, or crushed pretzels are fun options.
- Use colored chocolate melts for themed treats.
