Finally the tutorial that I promised last week: How to make my famous Chocolate Covered Pretzel Rods. 2 weeks ago I made 160 of these, they aren’t very difficult. It took a while but I have plenty to use for gifts and Christmas parties.
Christmas Pretzel Rods
Melt your chocolate chips.
Set up your station.
Prep your colored chips.
Coat the pretzels with chocolate. Use a spatula to spread the chocolate while spinning the pretzel with your other hand.
Place your pretzel on cookie sheet and drizzle on red and green topping.
Sprinkle your favorite toppings: Sprinkles, Crushed M&Ms, Mints, Candy Canes, Etc.
Let pretzels harden in freezer then enjoy!

These can be adapted for any holiday but for some reason I only make them at Christmas.

How much of the regular chocolate did you go through to make the 160ish pretzel rods? I am dipping pretzel rods as wedding favors and am not sure how much of the Wilton candy melts I’ll need to purchase. I’m making 400 dipped rods… O_O
Thanks!
