Almond Bark Pretzels (Recipe for Chocolate Covered Pretzels)
Almond bark pretzels are hard salty pretzels dipped in almond bark. An easy and tasty holiday treat!
Ingredients
- 16 ounces almond bark
- 9 ounces mini pretzel twists
- sprinkles, crushed candy canes, or chopped nuts optional toppings
Instructions
- Line a couple of large baking sheets with parchment paper or wax paper.
- Cut the almond bark into uniform-sized pieces for even melting. Place it into a dry, clean microwave-safe bowl.16 ounces almond bark
- Melt the almond bark in the microwave in 30-second intervals. Stir between each 30-second interval until the chocolate is melted. Do not overheat as it will scorch. (You can use a double boiler to melt the chocolate, instead of the microwave. You can also find more tips for melting almond bark in the post above.)
- Put several pretzels into the melted chocolate. Cover them in almond bark, then use a fork or dipping tool to lift one pretzel at a time out of the melted chocolate. Give the fork several gentle taps against the bowl and scrape the bottom of the fork over the edge of the bowl to remove any excess chocolate.9 ounces mini pretzel twists
- Use another fork or a toothpick to gently slide each pretzel off the fork and onto a parchment paper-lined tray. Finish by adding sprinkles or desired toppings on top of each pretzel.sprinkles, crushed candy canes, or chopped nuts
- Set the coated pretzels in a cool place and allow the chocolate time to harden.
- Store the coated pretzels in an airtight container.
Notes
I don't typically measure anything when coating pretzels in almond bark. I melt some chocolate and dip pretzels, peanuts, etc. into the chocolate until it's gone. So feel free to make as many or as few as you desire. I only added measurements as a ratio estimate.
Almond bark pretzel rods are also a fun and tasty treat. Melt almond bark in a tall glass in the microwave, the same as you do for mini pretzels. Dip the rods halfway into the chocolate and sprinkle with nuts, crushed mints, etc. as desired.
