    Chocolate Covered Pretzels are one of the easiest and most fun little sweet and salty treats to make for any special occasion.  

    If you need something to make that is so incredibly easy for a Valentine’s Party, or any other occasion for that matter, Chocolate Covered Pretzels are your answer. You can also use knot pretzels, like with these Patriotic Pretzels.

    Who doesn’t like a little chocolatey yumminess combined with that little salty crunch.

    With the plethora of sprinkles for any occasion and season, you can make these treats for Christmas, Thanksgiving, St. Patrick’s Day, 4th of July and Halloween as well.

    Plus the fact that these are a great no-bake option that kids love to help make. We made them using both pretzel rods and gluten free pretzel twists for me too.

    Ingredients needed for Chocolate Covered Pretzels

    Package of pretzel rods and/or twists

    Semi-sweet chocolate (I prefer Ghiradelli)

    Assorted sprinkles, seasonal for extra fun

    How to Make Chocolate Covered Pretzels

    Melt the chocolates in double boiler or in the microwave according to package directions until completely melted and smooth.

    Line a baking sheet with parchment paper

    Spoon the chocolate over the pretzel, leaving a few inches uncovered for a handle

    Allow the excess chocolate to drip off the pretzels by gently shaking and twisting the pretzel over the bowl to avoid the chocolate pooling under the pretzel or into the toppings.

    Immediately cover chocolate with desired toppings and place on parchment paper.

    Place in the freezer for about 10 minutes.

    Store in an air tight container for several days.

    ENJOY!!
