You will stand back and marvel at how pretty your creation is. Just look at what you have when you are finished creating your delicious colorful spring pretzel bites…

They are a work of art – I tell you!

So…set aside a couple of hours for some fun in the kitchen, put on your favorite Netflix show and enjoy the day creating.

Here’s What You’ll Need to Make These Easy and Colorful Spring Chocolate Covered Pretzel Bite Treats

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

Moving on…

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

Decorating…

You should now have all of your pretzels covered in 5 different colors of chocolate
Warm your leftover chocolate in the microwave – if needed (for 30 seconds)

Grab one of your 5 forks and dip it into one of the chocolate colors
Now, you’ll splatter paint the chocolate pretzels by waving the fork back and forth over the pretzels – dipping into more chocolate when needed

Repeat with all of your leftover colors of chocolate until all the pretzels have a pattern over them

That’s it!

You’re Done with this project that was clearly made with love!

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…
