                                                                                Week 50 ( Save $50 )

Just when you thought nothing can get any better than chocolate ... this combination of salty pretzel and chocolate, takes it to another level.  They are just out of this world and delicious!  Make a batch or two today and dazzle your friends.

I love making these Holiday Chocolate covered Pretzel Rods. They are easy to make if you are just pouring one color.  Personally, I think the dark chocolate looks amazing!  Spot colors take a little more time especially with the intricate detailing. 

Supplies: Pretzel molds, 7" pretzel rods, melting chocolates, pretzel bags with ties can all be purchased from a large baking store, Michael's, online etc. 

Merkin's chocolate melts come in all colors and they are also available at larger bulk food stores.

The pretzel molds do come with an instruction sheet.  Here are my tips and instruction on making these delicious delights.


Hand wash the molds and dry thoroughly before using.

Give the clear molds a good rub and buff with paper towel every time before pouring.  The chocolate surface will unmold oh so shiny!





It's best to melt a few handful of chocolate melts in a small ramekin bowls in a pan of hot water that is 3/4 full to a simmer.  Melt the chocolates completely and stir until smooth.  Using a large pan, you can melt more than one color per ramekin.

Using a parfait spoon, spoon two spoons of the melted chocolate into dry mold. Place a pretzel rod into the mold with the chocolate.

Spoon enough chocolate to fill the remainder of the mold with the pretzel rod.

* If you are using one or more color for your molds as spot colors.  Pour carefully either by using a thin knife.  Allow the colors to dry completely before pouring the next color.  Cotton swabs are handy for cleaning accidental color drips.

Tap the mold lightly to remove any bubbles that may be trapped.

Repeat until all the molds are filled.

Place the filled molds carefully into refrigerator on a flat surface until set.  Twist the mold lightly to pop the finished pretzel rods.

How easy was that?  Now they are ready for tasting or packaging. 

It's best to package these delights quickly or they will quickly disappear.
