Step 2: Dip the pretzels. Dip each of your 24 pretzel rods into one of the bowls of melted chocolate, gently wiping off any excess on the side of the bowl.

💭 Angela's Pro Tips & Recipe Notes

  • Don't burn the chocolate. Ensure you stir your chocolate well between each heating session to prevent it from burning. If your microwave is extra powerful, use 15-20 second increments instead. 
  • Keep the chocolate melted. If the chocolate in the bowls begins to harden before you are done dipping the pretzels, remelt it using the microwave. 
  • Reduce the mess. Add sprinkles while holding the pretzels over your baking sheet to help contain the mess.
  • Decorate them. You can drizzle the white chocolate over chocolate pretzels, or vice versa, for more fun decorations.
  • Store them for later. Keep your pretzels stored at room temperature in a sealed, airtight container for 1-2 weeks.

Instructions
 

  • Place the 6 oz white vanilla melting wafers, 6 oz chocolate melting wafers, and 6 oz pink melting wafers into separate bowls and microwave them in 30-second intervals, stirring well in between each one, until melted.
  • Dip each of your 24 large pretzel rods into one of the bowls of melted chocolate, or spoon the melted chocolate onto the pretzels. Gently wipe off any excess on the side of the bowl.

Notes

Notes:
  • If opting to only use chocolate and white chocolate, increase to 1 cup each (or 8 ounces).
  • Ensure you stir your chocolate well between each heating session to prevent it from burning. If your microwave is extra powerful, use 15-20 second increments instead. 
  • Heat the chocolate or candy colors one at a time so you have plenty of time to work with the chocolate while it's warm.
  • White chocolate tends to burn easier when being heated, watch it closely.
  • If the chocolate in the bowls begins to harden before you are done dipping the pretzels, remelt it using the microwave. 
  • Add sprinkles while holding the pretzels over your baking sheet to help contain the mess.
  • You can drizzle the white chocolate over chocolate pretzels, or vice versa, for more fun decorations.
Storage:
  • Keep your pretzels stored at room temperature in a sealed, airtight container for 1-2 weeks.
