Bite size treats that are full of salty pretzel and rich dark chocolate flavor! Chocolate Pretzel Party Bites can be topped with sprinkles, candies, nuts, peppermint chips -- you name it! These make great gifts and are so fun to set out at parties!
Ingredients
5.5 ounces good quality chocolate (dark, milk, white) **See Note**
25 - 30 pretzel rings **See Note**
½ teaspoon sea salt
sprinkles, pecans, crushed peppermint, etc for toppings
Special Equipment:
Wax or parchment paper
Instructions
In a small saucepan over low heat melt the chocolate, stirring frequently. You can use all dark chocolate, a blend of dark and milk chocolate, all milk chocolate, or even white chocolate! If you decide on white chocolate melt very carefully because it has a tendency to burn.
Lay the pretzel rings in a single layer on the wax or parchment paper.
Using a small spoon, fill each ring with the melted chocolate. Sprinkle each piece with a few granules of the sea salt.
Top with sprinkles, nuts, peppermint, and all of your choice of toppings while the chocolate is still warm.
Let everything set up for at least 30 minutes -- until chocolate is firm.
Notes
1. I bought the chocolate for these at Aldi; they sell really good quality chocolate very inexpensively! ($1.99/bar is the price point here) If you are shopping for chocolate elsewhere just know that it will take 5 - 6 ounces of chocolate to make 25-30 pretzel bites 2. I also found the pretzel rings at Aldi! 3. Prep Time is listed as 45 minutes -- the chocolate will need AT LEAST 30 minutes to set up at room temperature. It will set faster in the fridge. Active time is minimal -- 10 mins tops.
