Dipped Pretzels White Or Chocolate Recipes

CHOCOLATE-DIPPED PRETZELS

Steps:

• Line a rimmed baking sheet with waxed paper; set aside. Break semisweet chocolate into small pieces; place in a microwave-safe dish. Microwave on high in 30-second increments, stirring after each, until chocolate is just melted, about 1 minute. Remove; stir until smooth.
• One at a time, roll one end of pretzel rods into melted chocolate, and, using a spoon, coat each 3/4 of the way up.
• Place pretzels on prepared baking sheet. Refrigerate until set, about 15 minutes.

WHITE CHOCOLATE-COVERED PRETZELS

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Unfold a piece of newspaper and place it on a table or counter. Top the newspaper with parchment or wax paper.
• Place white chocolate in a microwavable container. Microwave the mixture on high for 1 minute. Stir and, if needed, continue to cook for 15 seconds at a time until the chips are melted. You might also want to put the chocolate in a bowl over a pot of near-boiling water (double-boiler style) being careful not to let the water touch the bottom of the bowl.
• Working quickly, use kitchen tongs to dip one pretzel at a time into the melted chocolate. Cover the pretzels completely with chocolate, or cover only half of the pretzel for a distinctive look (that also lets people know what's under the chocolate and is ideal for party presentations).
• Place the dipped pretzels on the prepared work surface. The chocolate will cool and dry onto the pretzels quickly. Dip as many pretzels as you have chocolate. Allow all of the chocolate-covered pretzels to dry (this typically takes less than an hour) before storing in a cool, dry place in an airtight covered container with parchment paper or wax paper between each layer of pretzels.

DIPPED PRETZELS WHITE OR CHOCOLATE

Steps:

• 1. Prepare work surface or sheet pans by laying out or lining with wax paper, parchment paper or foil. This is where you will be placing the dipped pretzels for drying. Place pretzels in large bowl for easy access.
• 2. In a double boiler over med low heat place water in bottom pan. Make sure the water level does not touch the bottom of the top pan. Do not let the water boil, and make sure no water or steam gets into the top pan. In top pan place vanilla candy coating or chips and wax (the wax helps thin the candy coating so you may want to add a little more than indicated in recipe.) Stir mixture often until mixture is smooth and wax in incorporated. Remove top pan from heat. (I like to place pan on a dishtowel to sop up moisture on bottom of pan, plus it helps hold in some of the heat.)
• 3. Grab a handful of pretzels and place into the melted candy mixture. With a *fork or candy dipping tool make sure pretzels are coated throughly. Remove one at a time, drain off excess or dripping candy mixture and place on prepared surface for drying. Repeat until you have desired amount of dipped pretzels. Leave until completely dry. There may still be some excess dried candy mixture around edges of pretzels. It can be broken off carefully so as not to chip it off the whole pretzel. If you like double dipped pretzels, repeat process or take the melted mixture and drizzle over the dipped pretzels or can be done using melted chocolate chips or candy coating. Store in a container with tight fitting lid with wax paper or parchment between layers. Keep in a cool place, can be stored in fridge or be frozen. When removing from fridge or freezer, place on counter top. Do not remove lid or packageing until candy has reached room temperature. Place several pretzels in candy cups for gift giving boxes or place desired amount in cellophane bags tied with ribbon for baskets. NOTE: * When I first started making candy I used a wire coat hanger bent like a paperclip for a handle and a hook on the other end for hooking the pretzles out of the candy mixture.

CHOCOLATE-DIPPED PRETZEL RODS

Steps:

• Place almonds in a shallow dish. In a large glass measuring cup, microwave caramels and water on high until caramels are melted, stirring every minute., Dip three-fourths of each pretzel into caramel, allowing excess to drip off. (Reheat caramel in microwave if mixture becomes too thick for dipping.) Roll in almonds. Place on waxed paper until set. , In a microwave, melt white baking chips; stir until smooth. Dip half of the caramel-coated pretzels in white baking chips, allowing excess to drip off. Add sprinkles if desired; return to waxed paper to set. Repeat with chocolate chips and remaining pretzels., Store in airtight containers or wrap in cellophane gift bags and tie with ribbon.
