Chocolate Covered Gourmet Pretzels Updated For A New Generation

By Shari Swanson


Chocolate covered gourmet pretzels have been around for quite some time. They seem to be gaining popularity lately, with an updated twist. They are salty and sweet and the perfect all around treat.

These delightful doses of decadence are not difficult to make. They are really the perfect family project for a Sunday afternoon or a girls night. Share them throughout the years as gifts for family, friends and coworkers. They make great goody bags and party favors.

Pretzels are nothing, if not diverse. They come in every size and shape imaginable. No matter what your individual taste, there is a shape and style for you. Some pretzels, like the large rods, are easier to handle for a project such as this one. Other shapes include nuggets, circles, small sticks, and traditional pretzel twists.

When it comes to types of chocolate, the options are endless. You can use milk, dark, white, semi-sweet or bittersweet. You can even do combinations with different types of chocolate on the same pretzel. You can even dip them in caramel, peanut butter or marshmallow before dipping the in chocolate. No matter what you do, you can be sure that it will be delicious.

Toppings are a fairly new arrival on the scene when it comes to these goodies. The recent trend is to load up your rods with layers of your favorite candy. These can be anything, and you can get as creative as you want. Let the rods cool and harden, then pack them in decorative bags for an extra special treat.

What a wonderful way to spend a day. Creating chocolate covered gourmet pretzels that people love with the people you love and for the special people in your life. Your creations will be almost as delicious as the memories you created making them.
