My friend Amy and I recently made these chocolate covered pretzel rods for our sweet friend Camille's baby shower. We can't wait to meet the baby, he's going to be so cute! I have made these pretzels for many baby showers over the years. They are adorable and really easy! Any color combination works...pink & brown, pink & white, etc. I have made them for Valentine's Day, Halloween, a sporting event, the options are endless.
To make 40 favors with 2 pretzels in each bag~
6 packages of candy melts (2 different colors)~ we used Wilton's 14 ounce bag, found at Michael's Craft Store.
3~4 bags of pretzel rods
In a double boiler, fill lower pan with water to below level of top pan. Bring water to a simmer, then remove from heat. Put candy disks in top pan and stir without beating, until smooth. Transfer the melted chocolate into a tall narrow glass. Dip the pretzels and carefully shake off excess chocolate back into the glass. Place on a cookie sheet or counter top lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with the opposite color and let them set, this takes about 20~30 minutes.
*You can also use a package of chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon of crisco added while the chocolate is melting.
They were awesome and SO nice of you to do!
