  • 1 (16 oz.) bag of mini pretzel twists
  • Colorful Chocolate Melts – Wilton is preferred by me. I used all pastel colors for my Spring Theme – green, blue, purple, yellow, and pink
  • 5 glass microwave-proof bowls – For this, I just used our cereal bowls that are microwave proof
  • wax paper
  • 5 forks

Instructions for Easy and Colorful Spring Chocolate Covered Pretzel Bite Treats

  • You can either melt all of the chocolate at once or just do one color at a time. I melted it all at once. The only extra step you’ll need to make if you do it all at once as I did is possible popping the melted chocolate back into the microwave for 30 seconds to warm up – if it starts to thicken too much from setting out.
  • Either way, you’ll want a separate bowl for each color – Ready? Let’s get started…

  • Set out a large piece of wax paper per color of chocolate
  • Melt one or all of your chocolates

Melting the Chocolate Melts…

  • I like to pour my chocolate melts into the bowl, pop the bowl into the microwave for 1 minute, stir with my silicone spatula, pop the chocolates back in for 30 more seconds and stir until smooth

  • Now…with your melted chocolate in front of you, grab a pretzel and set it into the chocolate
  • Use a fork to turn it over and really coat it
  • Flip it back around, with the top side up – slide the fork under the chocolate coated pretzel
  • Pick it up with the fork and bring it to the side of the bowl where you’ll rest the fork and pretzel there
  • Tap the fork on the side of the bowl – this will release any excess chocolate

  • Place the chocolate pretzel on the wax paper by sliding it off – *If you are having trouble...a toothpick is handy for pushing it off 
  • Continue until a small amount of chocolate is left in the bowl
  • DO NOT throw that leftover chocolate out – you’ll use it for decorating later

  • Once you are done with one color – switch to another, grab more wax paper and dip pretzels into that color
  • Keep going until you have pretzels of every color
  • *If the chocolate in your bowls gets too thick – that means it has cooled off and is starting to dry, just pop it in the microwave for 30 seconds

Storing your Pretzel Bite Treats…

You could easily make these a couple of weeks in advance. I left mine at room temperature – uncovered on a platter for a couple of days. I made my pretzels 10 days ago, and still have a few that I have hidden from the kids on the very top shelf. They are not in a container and they are perfectly crisp. The chocolate still looks fantastic. If you want to make them even more in advance, just pop them into an airtight container and again store at room temperature. Fully covered chocolate pretzels will stay fresh for months. Here is an article that goes into further detail…

    How far in advance can I makes these? Will they keep? Do they need to be refrigerated? Thanks!

    Can I use white candy melts and add food coloring?

    1. Melissa

      Food coloring can be a tricky thing with white candy melts. Any moisture will most likely cause the chocolate to seize – it will get hard and clumpy. I would not use gel or liquid food coloring. If you have powdered coloring or oil-based (made specifically for coloring candy) then you’ll probably be ok. I hope this helps.
