I just want to share one of the goodies I made last night for Kaley’s birthday party tomorrow…
Chocolate Dipped Pretzel Rods
All you will need it a bag of pretzel rods, a bag of Wilton Candy Melts and a jar of candy gems (or any other candy that you want to use – I used sugar crystals on some and they turned out nice too)
- Just place the bag of candy melts into a microwave safe bowl and cook at 50% power for 2 minutes in the microwave
- Carefully remove the bowl (it will be hot) and stir until smooth
- Place a pretzel rod into the bowl and spoon chocolate over the rod
- Hold the rod upright and shake the chocolate down the rod and this will give it a smooth look
- Place the coated pretzel rod over a plate and drop candy gems (or other candy) onto each side
- Place on wax paper and put in the refrigerator to harden
I made 9 rods before I ran out of candy gems (we ate one before the pic) but had a LOT of chocolate left over so either buy 2 bottles of gems or get a second bottle of another candy.
Also you can let the chocolate harden after you are done and save it to use again later.
Yum!
