Description

Salty and sweet collide in this fun snack recipe.
Perfect for satisfying any chocolate craving!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 60 thin cross salted pretzels (approximately)
  • 2 oz (57g) semi-sweet or dark chocolate, roughly chopped
  • Non-stick cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Cover a large baking sheet with wax paper and place a non-stick sprayed cooling rack on top.
  2. Place about 20 pretzels on the cooling rack, ensuring they do not overlap. Set aside.
  3. Make room in the freezer (preferably) or refrigerator to place the baking sheet between batches to harden the chocolate.
  4. Fill a 3 qt. pot with about 2 inches of water and bring to a boil.
  5. Once boiling, reduce heat to low, maintain a simmer, and place a small pan on top.
  6. Add chocolate to the small pan and stir continuously until there are just a few lumps remaining. Turn off the heat and continue stirring until all lumps are gone.
  7. Pour melted chocolate into a squirt bottle.
  8. Drizzle chocolate over one pretzel at a time using a back-and-forth motion to cover most of the pretzel.
  9. Place the baking sheet in the freezer for one minute to harden the chocolate.
  10. Remove the baking sheet from the freezer, carefully remove the pretzels from the rack, and place them in an airtight container.
  11. Repeat with the remaining pretzels. Run the squirt bottle under hot water between batches to keep the chocolate smooth.
  12. When all pretzels are finished, scrape chocolate drips from the cooling rack onto the wax paper and collect the drippings in a small container for later use.

Notes

  • For easier drizzling, microwave the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  • Use different colored chocolates to create a festive look.
  • Store drizzled pretzels in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
