Chocolate Dipped Pretzels Salt Sprinkles (Printable View)
Crispy pretzels dipped in silky chocolate with sea salt.
# Ingredient List:
→ Pretzels
01 - 20 large pretzel rods
→ Chocolate Coating
02 - 7 ounces semi-sweet or milk chocolate, chopped or chips
03 - 1 tablespoon coconut oil or vegetable oil (optional)
→ Toppings
04 - 2 tablespoons flaky sea salt
05 - 4 tablespoons assorted sprinkles
# How to Prepare:
01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
02 - Combine chocolate and coconut oil (if using) in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until melted and smooth, or melt over a double boiler.
03 - Dip each pretzel rod halfway into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.
04 - While chocolate is still wet, sprinkle flaky sea salt and assorted sprinkles over the dipped section.
05 - Place dipped pretzels on the prepared baking sheet. Let chocolate set at room temperature for 30 minutes or refrigerate for 10 to 15 minutes until firm.
06 - Enjoy immediately or package for gifting.
# Expert Suggestions:
01 -
- They're ready in under 20 minutes, which means you can satisfy a craving without the fuss of actual baking.
- The contrast of crispy, salty, and sweet hits every craving at once—it's impossible to eat just one.
- They look impressive enough to hand out as gifts, but require almost no skill to make.
02 -
- Don't let water near your chocolate—even a tiny drop can seize it into an unusable clump, so keep your bowl and spoon completely dry.
- Chocolate that's too thick won't coat smoothly; that's your signal to add a small amount of oil and stir until it flows like silk.
03 -
- Use a double boiler instead of the microwave if you want absolute control over temperature and prefer never rushing the melt.
- Chocolate that's slightly warm clings better than room-temperature chocolate, so work quickly after melting.
