Chocolate covered pretzels are super easy to make, even more fun to eat and the perfect dessert recipe to make with kids. Of course you don’t need little ones to appreciate the sweet and salty goodness of this yummy treat!
This dessert is also really versatile. You can make it for Halloween (add orange food coloring for the white chocolate), Christmas (red and green sprinkles, anyone)? Even throw on some red sprinkles or food coloring for a Valentine’s Day theme. However, if you’re like my family, you just make them whenever because they’re good!
These chocolate covered pretzels are covered in both semisweet chocolate and white chocolate. My daughter only wants the white ones and my sons prefer the other. Everybody wins!
I store the pretzels in the fridge in storage bags. You can also put wax paper between them if you’re worried about them sticking together. I did not use the wax paper and they came apart just fine for me.
A kid-friendly dessert that’s perfect to make on a Saturday afternoon. Just try not to eat them all in one sitting!
