Chocolate Dipped Pretzels Valentine (Printable)
Crunchy pretzel rods coated in chocolate and decorated with Valentine-themed sprinkles.
# What You’ll Need:
→ Pretzels
01 - 24 large pretzel rods
→ Chocolate Coating
02 - 7 oz semisweet or milk chocolate, chopped or chocolate chips
03 - 1 tsp coconut oil or vegetable shortening
→ Decorations
04 - 1.75 oz Valentine-themed sprinkles
# How-To Steps:
01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking.
02 - Place chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until completely smooth and fully melted.
03 - Dip each pretzel rod halfway into the melted chocolate, gently twirling to ensure even coating. Allow excess chocolate to drip off.
04 - Immediately sprinkle Valentine sprinkles over the chocolate-coated portion while wet, rotating the pretzel to cover all sides evenly.
05 - Place dipped pretzels on the prepared baking sheet. Allow chocolate to set completely at room temperature for approximately 30 minutes, or refrigerate for 10-15 minutes for faster setting.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The salty sweet combo hits every craving button in one satisfying crunch
- Ready in under 30 minutes but looks like you spent hours on them
02 -
- Even a tiny drop of water will seize your chocolate into a grainy mess, so keep everything completely dry
- Work in small batches of 4 to 5 pretzels at a time so the chocolate stays fluid and the sprinkles stick properly
03 -
- Crushed freeze dried strawberries add incredible flavor and a gorgeous pink color to white chocolate versions
- Let the chocolate set for 2 minutes before adding sprinkles to prevent them from sinking into the coating
