Instructions for Ingredients for Halloween Chocolate Covered Pretzels
*To even it out, dip about 2 dozen pretzels per color. If you have any leftover pretzels, you can keep going. You should end up with about 10 dozen chocolate covered pretzels
- One bowl at a time – Melt the chocolate melts. I like to microwave the chocolates for 1 minute, stir with with a silicone spatula. If the chocolate is not quite smooth yet, go ahead and microwave for another 30 seconds and stir until smooth. Be careful. If you microwave too much, the chocolate will seize and become unusable.
- Set out all of the sheets of wax paper to let the pretzels dry on
- Grab one of the melted chocolates and start dipping
- Push the pretzel into the melted chocolate
- Flip the pretzel around, coating it completely
- Bring the pretzel up to the side of the bowl and tap the fork down, releasing excess chocolate into the bowl
- Carefully slide the pretzel off of the fork onto the wax paper
- Repeat the process for each pretzel (about 24 per color) – stopping before you use all of the chocolate in the bowl
- Now, you should have some chocolate left in the bowl for decoration
- Microwave the hardened chocolate for 30 seconds to melt it again
- Use the forks from each color to pick up some chocolate onto
- Start waving the fork back and forth over the colored pretzels, leaving behind streaks of colorful chocolate on top of each colored pretzel
- Repeat this with each color of chocolate until all of the pretzels have been decorated
- And, there you have it! Enjoy your Halloween Pretzel Bites
Storing your Halloween Chocolate Pretzel Bites
- You can make these pretzels up to a couple of week in advance. Even without a container, at room temperature, the chocolate pretzels should stay crisp for at least 10 days. If you place them into an airtight container, you chocolate covered pretzels stored at room temperature can stay fresh for months.
That’s it! Happy Halloween.
