Scale
- 60 thin cross salted pretzels (approximately)
- 2 oz (57g) semi-sweet or dark chocolate, roughly chopped
- Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
- Cover a large baking sheet with wax paper and place a non-stick sprayed cooling rack on top.
- Place about 20 pretzels on the cooling rack, ensuring they do not overlap. Set aside.
- Make room in the freezer (preferably) or refrigerator to place the baking sheet between batches to harden the chocolate.
- Fill a 3 qt. pot with about 2 inches of water and bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to low, maintain a simmer, and place a small pan on top.
- 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.
- Pour melted chocolate into a squirt bottle.
- Drizzle chocolate over one pretzel at a time using a back-and-forth motion to cover most of the pretzel.
- Place the baking sheet in the freezer for one minute to harden the chocolate.
- Remove the baking sheet from the freezer, carefully remove the pretzels from the rack, and place them in an airtight container.
- Repeat with the remaining pretzels. Run the squirt bottle under hot water between batches to keep the chocolate smooth.
- 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.
