Easter Coated Pretzels
Ingredients
Directions
Make the coating
Again, just melt your coating, chocolate or white, or color the white.
Melt in small bowls in a pan of water, just warm, never hot.
Dip and set
Dip the pretzels in and lift with a fork, shaking off excess coating.
Lay on wax paper or cookie sheet that will fit in your freezer.
You don't have to use the freezer.
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.
