What are chocolate covered pretzels?
Chocolate covered pretzels are delicious little treats with the perfect combination of sweet and salty flavours. These holiday pretzels are made easy by simply using mini pretzels, dipping them in chocolate and then covering them in festive crushed candy canes.

Ingredients:
- 12-20 Mini Pretzels
- 3 oz White Candy Melts
- 1/4 cup crushed peppermint candy canes
Tip: pretzel rods, large pretzels, pretzel twists, pretzel sticks or square pretzels can be used instead of mini ones.
Directions:
1. In a medium bowl, melt the white chocolate wafers in the microwave at 15 second intervals, stirring in between until the chocolate is completely smooth.
2. Dip the pretzels into the chocolate and place them on a parchment lined baking sheet.
3. Add candy cane bits to the melted chocolate before it cools.
4. Place the chocolate pretzels in the fridge and allow the chocolate to harden completely before serving.
Tips for making these Christmas 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 parchment lined 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.
I am a huge fan of anything that includes peppermint and chocolate. Add the salty goodness of pretzels and we have a real winner. The white chocolate and crushed candy canes add a lovely, festive feel to all of my plated cookie and bar trays during the holiday season.
How long do chocolate dipped pretzels last?
Store these yummy 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.
