Ingredients

  • 1 bag mini pretzels or rods
  • variety of sprinkles

CHOCOLATE

  • 1 c. semi-sweet chocolate or disks
  • 1 c. milk-chocolate or disks
  • ½ tsp. canola oil or Paramount Crystals

WHITE CHOCOLATE

  • 1 c. white chocolate bar
  • 1 c. white chocolate disks
  • oil-based food color OR food gel plus Flo-Coat
  • ½ tsp. canola oil or Paramount Crystals

Instructions

PREP

  • Sort out the whole pretzels from the bag.
  • Line baking sheet with a Silpat mat or parchment paper.

MELT CHOCOLATE

  • Melt chocolate using your favorite method: double broiler, microwave, or electric chocolate pot until it is melted and smooth.
  • Place chocolate into electric chocolate pot on high setting until it is melted and smooth. Add the canola oil or Parmamount Crystals.

WHITE CHOCOLATE (COLOR)

  • Follow same directions except, add oil-based food color OR if you use regular food gel be sure to add Flo-Coat to the chocolate. To use Flo-Coat mix a ratio of 5 parts Flo-Coat to 1 part gel food coloring, then add that mixture to your white chocolate.
  • Only dip about 4-5 pretzels at a time and then decorate those immediately with sprinkles before the chocolate hardens.
  • Place pretzels on baking sheet lined with a Silpat mat or parchment paper.
  • Decorate with non-perils or sprinkles of choice.
  • If you have colored chocolate left over you can also put some in a plastic bottle made for doing chocolate work and drizzle over the finished dipped pretzels.
  • Let chocolate set about 1 hour. Store in a sealed container.

Notes

Be sure to use oil based food color. Do not use gel based coloring as it will seize.
