Tip: Use a fork to dip pretzels into the melted chocolate. This allows the excess chocolate to drip from the pretzel.

3. Place the pretzels in the fridge and allow the chocolate to harden completely before serving.

How long does it take chocolate covered pretzels to harden?

It only takes a minute or two for the chocolate to completely harden so if you want to add candy or sprinkles to the pretzel treats be sure to do it quickly! Adding your favorite topping to a pretzel stick is the easiest way to make a yummy party snack.

Tips for making these salty treats:

  • Use candy melts for best results, the wafer chocolate melts the best. Add one teaspoon of coconut oil to other chocolate to help it melt and pour better.
  • Lay the chocolate covered treat on a prepared baking sheet for easy moving and transporting before the chocolate has hardened.
  • Place the chocolate in the fridge or freezer to completely cool before serving.

How long do chocolate dipped pretzels last?

Store these chocolate treats in a large freezer bag or airtight container for up to one month at room temperature. They can also be stored in the fridge to prevent the chocolate from melting or in the freezer for months.
