Easter Coated Pretzels

Ingredients

Directions

Make the coating

  1. Again, just melt your coating, chocolate or white, or color the white.

  2. Melt in small bowls in a pan of water, just warm, never hot.

Dip and set

  1. Dip the pretzels in and lift with a fork, shaking off excess coating.

  2. Lay on wax paper or cookie sheet that will fit in your freezer.

  3. You don't have to use the freezer.

  4. They will set, but look better and set faster in fridge or freezer.

What each ingredient does

White or colored coating or chocolate
Forms the coating that hardens around the pretzels, giving them a sweet, crisp shell.
Small pretzels
Provide a salty, crunchy base that contrasts with the sweet coating.

The step that matters

Melting the coating gently. Coating that is too hot can seize or turn grainy, and chocolate scorches easily. Warming it only slightly in a water bath keeps it smooth and fluid enough for a thin, even dip.
