What kind of chocolate to use for chocolate covered Pretzels?
Q : What kind of chocolate should I use to make chocolate covered pretzels? Is it best to buy baking chocolate or can I use Hershey's chocolate bars etc? Also, do you have any suggestions for festive designs for Christmas? I would like to make and decorate them for Xmas gifts.A : You can just melt down semi-sweet chocolate morsels (they're in the baking section of your store). Use 2 sauce pans (1 big enough to nest the smaller one in side of it). Put water in the bigger pan and the chocolate chips in the smaller one. Heat just hot enough to keep the water simmering and melt the chocolate. You can put some canning wax in with the chocolate too. The wax isn't necessary, but your finished product will set up harder and shinier. For Christmas gifts consider drizzling the chocolate covered pretzels with white chocolate, chopped nuts, or chopped of bits of toffee (like from a heath or skor bar). Pretty much anything will stick as long as you apply it before the chocolate hardens. Consider the individual you're making the pretzels for and add ingredients you know they like.
What is the best way to prepare chocolate covered pretzels?
Q : And what are your favorite toppings for them??
I have mini m&m's & coconut so far.
A : Easiest is bark chocolate. On the baking isle. Looks like a huge candy bar.
All you do is follow the melting directions on package, and dip away. I use a glass bowl in microwave. Both dark and white chocolate are available.
Try dipping a couple of peanut butter and crackers ( fixed on ritz).
They are Good!!!
How do you make chocolate covered pretzels?
Q : I have a box of Baker's milk chocolate. Do i just melt it down and dip the pretzels or should I add something to the melted chocolate to make it smoother once it's set? I don't want anyone to break there teeth...
A : I just melt the chocolate in the microwave and dip away!
Just make sure not to burn the chocolate while you're melting it, AWFUL smell and taste if you do!
What is a good replacement for wax paper when making chocolate covered pretzels?
Q : I read wax paper is best to place chocolate covered pretzels on while cooling. But I'm out of wax paper, and I don't want to make the 40 min trip to the store to get some. Anyone know a good replacement? Would the pretzels be ruined if I don't use wax paper?
A : Parchment paper would work.
Or, if you're in a pinch... lightly spray aluminum foil with Cooking spray. Make sure to spread it as thin as possible or the chocolate pretzels will be greasy.
Or... knock on a neighbor's door and borrow some wax paper.
