Chocolate covered pretzels, chocolate is always too soft?
Q : Whenever I melt semi-sweet chocolate chips for anything (this time it happened to be chocolate covered pretzles), I add oil because this is what my mom always did. She always told me this keeps the chocolate from burning and getting clumpy. Problem is no matter how cold it gets or how long I leave it to set, it still is REALLY soft and melts all over your hands! Am I adding too much oil? Do I even need to ~add~ oil when melting chocolate?A : You don't need to temper semi-sweet chocolate. In most grocery stores they have a chocolate bark you can buy and it's perfect for chocolate covered pretzels. My son made these when he was in school and sold them. He used the pretzel rods. It's about $2.79 for a block of this bark. Look for it in your cake mix area.
when cooking chocolate covered pretzels, what do you do if the chocolate turns into a paste?
Q : the dark chocolate turned out fine but the white turned pastey.
do i add something?
A : That chocolate seized on you, add just a little whole milk, not lowfat, not skim, not 2% , whole milk over a very low heat and bring the temp back up to a minimum of 90 degrees. 90 degrees? my thermometer doesn't go that low, stick you finger in it and if you feel a little heat you've made it to at least 98.6
How can I make Chocolate Covered Pretzels without a double boiler?
Q : I would like to make chocolate covered pretzels for a party tomorrow, but all recipes are calling for a double boiler, but I do not have one. I was wondering how to make them without a double boiler.
Thanks In Advance!!
A : You can melt the chocolate in the microwave very slowly but I've never had much success with that. What I would do is heat water in a saucepan and put a metal bowl over the top of it to melt the chocolate in. You can get a metal bowl at one of those dollar stores if you don't have one. This is in effect a makeshift double boiler. Good luck, sounds yummy!
How can I make perfect chocolate covered pretzels?
Q : I have the chocolate that you can melt. Now I just need the rest. It is my mo's birthday and they are her favorite so any tips or recipes would be awesome
A : Put the pretzels in the freezer first for about ten minutes. The warm chocolate will solidify quicker so they won't be drippy looking. Make sure that you put parchment or wax paper on the cooking sheet before you put the dipped pretzels on it, so they won't stick. Get some white chocolate, they are really good too.
