Chocolate Dipped Pretzels Valentine (Printable)
Crunchy pretzels coated in smooth chocolate with colorful Valentine sprinkles for a festive snack.
# What You Need:
→ Pretzels
01 - 24 large pretzel rods
→ Chocolate Coating
02 - 7 oz semisweet or milk chocolate, chopped or chocolate chips
03 - 1 tsp coconut oil or vegetable shortening, for smoothness
→ Decorations
04 - 1.75 oz Valentine-themed sprinkles
# How To Cook:
01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat for easy cleanup and cooling.
02 - Place chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and fully melted.
03 - Dip each pretzel rod halfway into the melted chocolate, gently twirling to coat evenly. Allow excess chocolate to drip off.
04 - Immediately sprinkle Valentine sprinkles over the chocolate-coated portion, rotating pretzel to cover all sides evenly.
05 - Place dipped pretzels on the prepared baking sheet. Allow chocolate to set completely at room temperature for 30 minutes, or refrigerate for 10-15 minutes for faster setting.
# Expert Tips:
01 -
- The salty sweet combination hits every craving button in one satisfying crunch
- These come together in under thirty minutes but look like you spent all afternoon crafting them
02 -
- Even a tiny drop of water will seize your chocolate into a gritty mess, so keep everything completely dry
- Work quickly once the chocolate is melted because it starts thickening as it cools
03 -
- Set up a little bowl of warm water to dip your spoon in if the chocolate gets too thick while working
- Hold the dipped pretzel over the bowl of sprinkles and rotate it instead of pouring sprinkles over the pretzel to minimize waste
