Here’s What You’ll Need to make this Chocolate Covered Pretzel Recipe for Spring

This will make approximately 1 dozen flowers 

• Chocolate Melts (assorted spring colors)- (Wilton is my preferred) You’ll need approximately 12 oz. for 1 dozen chocolate-covered pretzel flowers  – *I used 3 colors, but you could stick with one color if you want
• 1 dozen yellow chocolate melts 
• Approximately 48 mini-twist pretzels
• A glass microwave-proof bowl
• Silicone Spatula
• A fork
• Wax Paper
• Optional Paper Straws, cut-out paper leaves, and glue to make the Pretzel Treats into Pretzel Pops

Here’s a quick Video to show you how I made these Pretzel Flowers:

Instructions:

First, Preparing the Chocolate and getting ready…

• If you are using assorted colors as I did, pour about 1/2 cup into a microwave-proof glass bowl
• *If you are only using one, then use the whole bag 
• Melt the chocolate in the microwave for 1 minute, stir with your spatula, and pop it back in for 30 seconds – stir until smooth
• Transfer your melted chocolate to your work surface
• Set out a large sheet of wax paper
• Gather your other supplies, pretzels, yellow chocolate melts, and fork 

Dipping the pretzels

• Now, Place a pretzel into the chocolate and push it down with your fork, turn it around to coat it
• Then, Use the fork to lift the coated pretzel up to the edge of the bowl 
• Finally, Tap the fork several times to release the excess chocolate

Hardening the Dipping Chocolate 

• Now you can Gently place the pretzel onto the wax paper 
• Then, Repeat the process with 3 more pretzels, placing the pretzels down in a circle formation with the tops facing outward

• *I placed mine so the side tips of the pretzels rested on top of each other in a circle, which you can see in the the image above

 

• Finally, place the yellow chocolate melt in the center of the pretzel circle
• Let the chocolate harden by simply drying at room temperature. This should only take a few minutes
• That’s 1 flower
• Repeat making more flowers until most of the chocolate is gone out of the bowl
• Do the same process with all of your chocolate colors, except the yellow chocolate melts

*Optional – Adding a stem to your Flower chocolate-covered pretzel 

• If you want to add a cute stem…
• Place a mound of melted chocolate on the top portion of the paper straw – about an inch down from the top, about where the center of the flower will go

• Carefully place the flower over the melted chocolate and let the chocolate completely harden
• Use a toothpick to clean off excess chocolate from the pretzel holes 

• Add leaves with glue

Storing your chocolate flowers

• These chocolate-covered pretzels a fine set out on a platter at room temperature for a few days
• If you want to keep them longer, place them in an airtight container with wax paper as layers between them – at room temperature
• These flower pretzels should last a couple of weeks
