Easy Chocolate Dipped Pretzels
Good morning and Happy Friday! I hope y’all had a good week. Mine was crazy insane, but hopefully the crazy is starting to subside a little bit. Maybe? I’m so excited to show you the easy gourmet chocolate dipped pretzels that I made to give to family and friends.
Yum!
Easy Chocolate Dipped Pretzels:
- Pretzel Rods
- Almond Bark {dark and white}
- Toppings {toffee bits, m&ms, candy canes or peppermints, oreo sandwich cookies}
- Bowls, Spoons, Parchment paper, Ziplock bags
First, get the almond bark melting. I made my own double boilers with Pyrex bowls over saucepans with water in them. I covered my dining room table with parchment paper sheets.
While almond bark is melting, prepare toppings and put each topping in a separate bowl.
Dip pretzel rods one at a time in melted almond bark. I used a spoon to drizzle almond bark evenly over pretzel. Tap pretzel on the side of the bowl to get rid of excess. Sprinkle toppings over dipped pretzel and place on parchment paper to set.
*It is important to sprinkle toppings on while almond bark is still very wet.
Drizzle dipped pretzels with white and dark almond bark. I used a ziplock bag with the corner snipped with scissors. Easy peasy.
– white almond bark variations –
– dark almond bark variations –
Drool.
Aren’t they so pretty?
When all the pretzels were dry and set, I placed them carefully in gallon sized bags to keep them fresh.
I’m gifting my chocolate dipped pretzels like this. They are simply tied with baker’s twine and jute in a treat bag. The treat bags are crazy cheap at Hobby Lobby. 🙂
I had some melted almond bark left over, so I dumped in all my toppings, pretzel crumbs {with salt} etc. Stirred everything together well and then I spread it out over parchment paper to cool. This bark-type candy is…addicting.
Seriously, this stuff is dangerous.
And that’s all there is to it. I’m really excited to gift these easy gourmet chocolate dipped pretzels over the next few days!
Do you make special treats to give away each year?

LOVE this!!!
I love to eat these. I enjoy making them too. Lol Yours look so pretty.
These look wonderful Myra! They remind me of going to the candy shop in a little resort town north of me 🙂

We make these every year with the kids…great teacher/Sunday School teacher gifts etc! When I drizzle the decorative chocolate over the already dipped pretzels, I just use a fork and gently wave it over the pretzels. It drizzles them beautifully without having to fill a ziploc bag! We are making ours tomorrow!!
We sprinkle Fruity Pebbles on ours! YUM!
I just found this site…and am in love with it! What a beautiful, helpful and inviting spot. The dipped pretzels even look do-able! Can’t wait to poke around more. Lovely.

Try adding crushed Oreos (especially the candy cane ones) to the leftover peppermint bark. It is SUPER yummy – I make pans full of peppermint bark (chocolate, pretzels, oreos & crushed peppermints) every year!
I just stumbled on this post because I was looking for a dipped pretzel recipe and I just had to say I love that your name is Myra!! That was my grandmother’s name who just passed away and I’ve never met anyone else with it. Best to you!
