Chocolate Covered Pretzels
Elegant looking chocolate covered pretzels that are great for anytime of the year. They would make a great snack for New Year’s Eve too. Drizzle the chocolate covered pretzels with a contrasting chocolate for a professional look. Place them into a pretty tin or decorative bag and give them away as gifts, nothing says love like a homemade sweet. These are a great addition to any party.
Ingredients – If you don’t have
coconut oil, olive oil works too.
Lay a large sheet of waxed
paper flat on a counter.
Using a double boiler over medium low
heat, add the chocolate and coconut oil.
If you don’t have a double boiler, place a heat
proof bowl on top of a pan filled with water.
Stir frequently until smooth and creamy.
Remove double boiler from the burner,
both pans together. Be careful not to
get any water into the chocolate or it
will be ruined. Add about 8 pretzels
to the chocolate.
Using a large slotted utensil, toss the
pretzels and completely coat them
with the chocolate.
With a few pretzels on the slotted utensil,
tap the pan gently removing the excess
chocolate. Using your fingers place the
chocolate covered pretzel onto the waxed
paper making sure they do not touch each other.
Let the chocolate set up then melt the white
chocolate and drizzle over the pretzels.
Repeat the process with the white
chocolate only drizzle with chocolate.
Let dry thoroughly then store
in an air tight container.
NOTE: I found it necessary to add olive oil to the white chocolate
to get the consistency I wanted after the chocolate melted.

Ingredients
- 1 family size bag mini twist pretzels
- 12 oz. milk chocolate chips
- 12 oz. white chocolate chips
- 4 Tbsp. coconut oil
- olive oil to thin chocolate if needed, optional
Directions
- Lay a large sheet of waxed paper on the counter.
- Using a double boiler over medium heat, add the chocolate and coconut oil.
- Stir frequently until the chocolate is smooth and creamy.
- Remove the entire double boiler from the burner and place it on a hot pad. This will help keep the chocolate melted. Be very careful not to get any water into the chocolate or it will be ruined.
- Drop about 8 mini pretzels into the chocolate. Using a slotted utensil, toss until the pretzels are completely covered in the chocolate.
- Scoop up a couple pretzels and tap the utensil against the pan removing the excess chocolate. Using your fingers push the pretzels onto the waxed paper making sure they don’t touch.
- Once the chocolate is set, repeat process with white chocolate and drizzle some of the white chocolate over the chocolate covered pretzels. Drizzle some chocolate over the white covered pretzels.
- Let dry and set completely then store in an airtight container.
NOTE: I FOUND IT NECESSARY TO ADD A LITTLE OLIVE OIL TO MY WHITE CHOCOLATE TO GET THE CONSISTENCY I WANTED.

Yummm
Thank you!!!
Thank you!
This chocolate mixture is delicious poured over ice cream. It hardens immediately and provides a bit of “crackle” to the treat. If you are very agile, you can sprinkle a few bits of something else, like nuts or coconut shreds, into the chocolate before it hardens.
I make about half a cup of it at a time, and just reheat the lot of it at serving time. You can put additions into the chocolate itself and they will just reheat with the coating, but we like variety, so I do it ad hoc. A small bit of instant espresso powder enriches the chocolate ambience without adding an overpowering presence of its own.

How clever you are! I make a magic shell with coconut oil but never thought to do it this way too. Thank you Judilyn this is why I love blogging!
Looks yummy!
Awww thank you!
My pleasure… 😊
They look really good 🙂
Thank you so much they were gone by the next day…lol
You could probably have chocolate covered brussel sprouts and they’d still be awesome!
Well Yessssssss! Even better is chocolate covered bacon!
One of my favs!
You’re not alone!!!
I love chocolate covered pretzels. Far too addicting.
They sure are!
I love them! Thank you for sharing the recipe!
You’re welcome! Happy New Year!
Thank you! Happy New Year filled with blessings, health and happiness!
Finger-licking good!
They barely touched the fingers…lol Thank you Matt!
Kitchanijig? Slotted Spatula? Mom had one circa 1970 just like that but stamped onto bowl side was “kitchanijig.” Your patience is virtuous. Never would I have layed out all those pretzels so neatly before “drizzling”. I know because I’ve done it but made the twists 1/2 white, 1/2 dark/milk combination.
I like a challenge Sue!!! If I was making them just for us I wouldn’t have even drizzled chocolate at all. These were for the family Christmas celebration so they had to be perfect….lol
And they were… Perfection is far to perfect to eat… Bet they went down a treat!!!😊
❤❤❤❤
Very clever. Looks good. Pity I can’t find gluten free pretzels in the stores.
Snyders makes them they are even on Amazon. Maybe they would be in the health food section?
Been to stores with health food sections and to health food stores. I will keep looking. We are finding that where we live now is quite good at catering for all kinds of allergies.
Yesterday, I discovered that our favourite gelato shop now has gluten free waffle cones. They don’t taste too bad and they charge the same price as normal waffle cone.
What a shock that must have been that they actual charge the same price. It always irritates me when you buy sugar free, gluten free etc. and they charge more. I hope you find the pretzels!
I actually helped my mom make these one year – we did the white and brown chocolate and crushed candy canes for some of them as well. That salty-sweet taste, always welcome.
OHHHHHH!!! I Iove the crushed peppermint candy idea!
Yes, it was good, and gave it a different taste.
Enter the giveaway friends…. 6 days left!!!

I would prefer these in dark chocolate, but to each his own. I, and suspect I am not alone, love the combination of chocolate and salt as long as the proportions are “right.”
We love these but they are very addicting! You would have no problem using dark chocolate.
That sounds and looks incredibly cool idea . Will surely try that out !
Be careful they are addicting!!!!! lol Thank you!
I love choc covered pretzels, or pretty much anything that mixes salty and sweet!
I know right! It is such a delicious combination!
Hmm – I would swear I responded yesterday but maybe not – maybe it is in SPAM. We used to make these in white and dark chocolate and crush candy canes up and sprinkle it on. Sweet and salty – it was nice. Do you make the reindeer faces with the loopy pretzels for your grandkids Diane? A girl I worked with used to make them and bring them in for our annual bake sale. Very cute!
No I have never made them. My grandkids aren’t big sweet lovers. Makes me think we’re not really related! 🤣😂🤣😂
Happy New Year!
Oh! I’m so down for this!
They were delicious!!!
Of course they were! You made them!
You are becoming my favorite follower with comments like that! ❤
Aww that’s so sweet of you to say!❤
I like the step-by-step pictures. Thanks!
Thank you Frank and Happy New Year!
Happy new year diane 🙂
Im just catching up on things but I couldn’t help thinking how a double flavour (white and milk) chocolate fountain and pretezels could also really work.🤣❤❤
Sounds good to me!!!!!
Ahhh these are great!!
Thank you!
These look so delicious! Gonna give them a try here real soon and I insist on using a second chocolate drizzle to contrast. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you!!! You could do them for Valentine’s Day. Use the red white chocolate over the chocolate and white chocolate for a drizzle.
Chocolate. Check.
Coconut oil. Check.
Pretzels…. I should have bought them today. I almost did, now I really wish I did. Your recipe looks amazing! Does the coconut oil help to give the chocolate shine or keep the chocolate from clumping?
Hi Hilary! The coconut oil helps keep the chocolate runny enough to dip. You could also use olive oil or vegetable oil but I like the coconut oil. Once the chocolate and coconut oil has melted, if I’m not happy with how the pretzels are getting coated, I will add olive oil and stir well because it is a quick fix. Good luck and enjoy.
I’ve used avocado instead of coconut oil in some recipes which seemed to work okay. I too prefer using coconut oil! Coconut oil has a pleasant taste and pairs nicely with chocolate. 🙂
YUUUUUUUM!
Thank you they were gone in 2 days!!!!
Yes!!
Reblogged this on .
Thank you so much!
I love chocolate covered pretzels, These looks so good and pretty.
I love the white chocolate the best but I can never find them. They seem to only sell yogurt covered and I want white chocolate so I made my own. Thank you so much Christy!
White chocolate is my favorite also. Can’t wait to try these.
So pretty. I remember when my Mom started making these for Christmas, adding them to her other Christmas treat/gift making. Your recipe is certainly more fancy!
Thank you Katelon but I’m sure your mom’s tasted just as good, what nice memories. 💕
They look so yummy and fun!
Thank you they definitely were both.
