Chocolate dipped pretzels pink (Printable)
Salty pretzel rods coated in rich chocolate and bright pink sprinkles, perfect for festive occasions or gifts.
# What You’ll Need:
→ Pretzels
01 - 24 large pretzel rods
→ Chocolate Coating
02 - 7 oz semi-sweet or milk chocolate, chopped (or chocolate chips)
03 - 1 tsp coconut oil or vegetable shortening (optional, for smoother coating)
→ Decoration
04 - 2 tbsp pink sprinkles (or pink sanding sugar)
# How to Prepare:
01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper.
02 - In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate and coconut oil (if using). Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted and smooth.
03 - Holding a pretzel rod by one end, dip it about two-thirds into the melted chocolate. Gently tap off excess chocolate.
04 - Immediately sprinkle pink sprinkles over the chocolate-coated section, rotating to cover all sides evenly.
05 - Place the coated pretzel rod on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining pretzels.
06 - Let pretzels set at room temperature until chocolate hardens (about 30 minutes), or refrigerate for 10 minutes for faster setting.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- They come together in under 30 minutes with zero actual cooking required
- The salty-sweet combination is somehow perfect every single time
02 -
- Even a tiny drop of water will seize your chocolate into a grainy mess, so keep everything completely dry
- Work in small batches once the chocolate is melted—it starts setting faster than you'd expect
03 -
- Room temperature pretzels work better than cold ones—condensation can make chocolate slide right off
- Hold the dipped pretzel over the bowl of sprinkles and use your fingers to gently pat them into the chocolate for better coverage
