Chocolate Pretzel Candies Recipes

CHOCOLATE PRETZEL CANDIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 170 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Lay a piece of parchment paper on a cookie sheet.
• Lay the pretzels on the cookie sheet and top with a kiss.
• Bake for 4 - 7 minutes, until the kiss or hug is soft but still retains its shape. One way to test is to poke it with a spoon; another is to pull them out at 4 minutes and try to top with an M&M; if it's still hard in the middle, give it another minute or two.
• Pull from the oven and top immediately and quickly with M&Ms. If you're using the peanut butter sandwich pretzels and notice they don't have much salt, sprinkle the kiss with a little sea salt if you want.
• Allow to harden - this will take a couple of hours, or you can transfer them to the refrigerator to speed up the process.

CHOCOLATE PRETZEL TREATS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 175 degrees F ( 80 degrees C).
• Arrange pretzels on a baking sheet. Place a candy kiss on the center of each pretzel.
• Warm pretzels in the preheated oven until candy kiss is shiny and slightly softened, 2 minutes.
• Place a candy-coated chocolate piece atop the candy kiss on each pretzel; press down. Chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.

CHOCOLATE PRETZEL STICKS

Steps:

• Bring water to a boil in saucepan and remove from stove.
• Set bowl onto pan so that the water comes about halfway up the outside of the bowl.
• Then add chocolate bark to bowl.
• Stir until chocolate is smooth.
• Dip pretzel stick into chocolate then roll in the nuts.
• Pecans are optional, use you imagination and use other nuts or candies.
• Set onto wax paper until chocolate is solid again.

CHOCOLATE-CARAMEL-PECAN PRETZEL BITES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• Put the pecan halves on a baking sheet in a single layer and bake, shaking the sheet once halfway through, until lightly toasted, 5 to 6 minutes. Transfer the nuts to a plate to cool.
• Line the baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Arrange the pretzels neatly on the baking sheet, then top each pretzel with an unwrapped caramel. Bake until the caramels soften (but are definitely not melting), 4 to 5 minutes. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and gently press a pecan half onto each caramel, just enough for the caramel to fill the pretzel. Set aside to cool completely.
• Remove the cooled pretzel/caramels from the baking sheet. Spoon 24 small dollops (1 1/2-teaspoon helpings) of the melted chocolate all over the baking sheet, then lightly drop a pretzel onto the middle of each dollop, making sure the pretzel is centered. Allow them to cool completely before serving (you can hasten this along in the fridge).

CHOCOLATE PRETZELS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place pretzels on baking sheets. Unwrap candy kisses and place one in the center of each pretzel.
• Place in preheated oven 1 to 2 minutes, until kisses melt. Remove from oven and place one candy-coated chocolate in the center of each pretzel. Chill in refrigerator until set.

WHITE CHOCOLATE COVERED PRETZELS

Steps:

• Melt white chocolate in the top of a double boiler, stirring constantly.
• Dip pretzel halfway into the white chocolate, completely covering half of the pretzel. Roll in topping if desired, and lay on wax paper.
• Continue the process until all of the white chocolate is finished. Place in refrigerator for 15 minutes to harden. Store in airtight container.
