I love making chocolate covered pretzels.
They are pretty. They are colorful. They are delicious. And they are easy.
As I’ve said before, they are my go to dessert recipe if I need to bring a dessert somewhere and I also make them for many holidays to give to friends, family, teachers…
Do you want to know how to make chocolate covered pretzels? While I’ve walked through making them here before, I thought I would show you with a video. Since neither my one year old nor my dogs wanted to help me, I had to prop up the camera and hope for the best. While not exactly film festival material, hopefully this does show you how I make my pretzels…
Here’s a look at my “set up” if you will when I make pretzels.
I have pretzels, my chocolate, a bowl to catch sprinkles with, my sprinkles and a cookie sheet covered in wax paper.
If you haven’t tried making chocolate pretzels, give it a go. I find these far easier to make than cake pops or other sweet treats. And who can resist that salty sweet combo??? 
For those who want to know, I get all of my pretty sprinkles from ABC Cake Decorating – a store I love love LOVE.
Here are some of my other pretzel posts if you want to check them out…

Wow these look like a work of art! So beautiful! I especially like the Valentine ones.
so fun, and a great way to use sprinkles, so you can buy more!! I have to find nice pretzels though, all I have are tiny broken ones!
Chocolate covered pretzels are so easy and fun. Plus they are way cheaper to make than to purchase! Great post!
I was going to make chocolate covered pretzel rods tomorrow! What a coincidence!
What chocolate do you use? I have not tried chocolate covered pretzels (yet) but when I make cake pops, my chocolate is usually so thick that I end up scooping and smearing rather than dipping. Just stumbled across your site from a link on Foodgawker.com. Love the site! Though a Phoenician for most of my life, I live in Florida now. Next time I am in town I will have to check out the ABC store.
Yummy! A couple friends and I have a “Dip and Sip” night to make chocolate covered pretzels, marshmallows and spoons. I love your s’mores idea – we’ll have to try that next. Thanks for sharing! – Em
I’ve been eyeing your pretzels for some time now. I’m making them for St. Patrick’s Day this year…SO excited! I’m featuring your Valentine’s pretzels on my blog post today @ whitelightsonwednesday.blogspot.com

I just made these tonight following your tutorial! Thank you SO much, I think these just changed my life
I linked to your blog from mine so everyone can check this out, and pinned it as well! Cheers!
What kind of chocolate do you use? I make them at christmas, but this year had a hard time finding white chocolate (that’s what we prefer). Had to use Nestle white chocolate chips, 1 bag did fine, the other would not melt to save a life. Would like to make them more often and your ideas are so pretty if I could find the right chocolate.
Kathleen, I think you will find this post helpful… http://www.lovefromtheoven.com/2012/01/14/melting-chocolate-to-make-cake-pops-chocolate-pretzels-chocolate-covered-marshmallows-and-more/
