Ingredients You'll Need:
1. Pretzel Rods
Pretzel rods are the star of this recipe, so make sure to choose high-quality ones. Look for pretzel rods that are thick and sturdy, as they will hold up better when coated with chocolate.
2. Chocolate Chips
For this recipe, we recommend using semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips. You can also use white chocolate for a different look and taste.
3. Assorted Toppings
The fun part about making holiday pretzel rods is the toppings! Get creative and use a variety of toppings such as crushed candy canes, sprinkles, chopped nuts, or holiday-themed candies.
Instructions:
1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
2. Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth and fully melted.
3. Dip each pretzel rod into the melted chocolate, coating it about ¾ of the way. Use a spoon to help spread the chocolate evenly.
4. Before the chocolate hardens, sprinkle your desired toppings onto the pretzel rod. Place the pretzel rod onto the prepared baking sheet to set.
5. Repeat this process with the remaining pretzel rods.
6. Once all the pretzel rods are coated and topped, place the baking sheet in the fridge for 15-20 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
7. Once set, remove the pretzel rods from the fridge and let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.
Additional Tips:
- For a smoother coating, use a small offset spatula to help spread the chocolate evenly.
- If you want to make these pretzel rods in advance, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. Just make sure to let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving to allow the chocolate to soften.
- Get creative with your toppings! You can also use different flavored chocolate chips, such as peppermint or caramel, for a unique twist.
