Chocolate-Covered Cherries Recipe: How to Make It image

Not only is this my family's favorite festive dessert, but it makes a delicious holiday present, too. Best of all, you can (and should) prepare these ahead. The candy gets better as it's stored, with the centers becoming even juicier. —Linda Hammerich, Bonanza, Oregon

GOURMET CHOCOLATE COVERED PRETZEL RODS RECIPE - FOOD.COM



Gourmet Chocolate Covered Pretzel Rods Recipe - Food.com image

I make these often for bake sales and around the holidays. They are so adaptable for any special event and great for all ages.

Total Time 33 minutes

Prep Time 30 minutes

Cook Time 3 minutes

Yield 30 chocolate pretzels

Number Of Ingredients 7

10 ounces pretzel sticks (Pretzel RODS)
12 ounces milk chocolate chips (or melting disks)
1/2 cup white chocolate chips (optional)
candy sprinkles (optional)
miniature M&M's chocolate candies (optional)
mini Reese's pieces (optional)
chopped peanuts (optional)

Steps:

  • Melt milk chocolate chips in double boiler or in microwave (be careful not to burn in the micro).
  • If you are using the white chocolate, wait until later before melting unless you can keep it over warm water.
  • Dip each pretzel rod about 2/3 of the way up in chocolate.
  • Lay on wax paper lined baking sheets, lining up the rods but leave a bit of space between them.
  • Allow to set a little, but not completely dry (while waiting, make sure your white chocolate is ready).
  • Dip a fork into the white chocolate and drizzle over the milk chocolate by gently swishing the fork back and forth over the rods but not touching them.
  • Place your sprinkles or candies on a paper plate and roll each pretzel rod in desired topping (or just sprinkle on).
  • Lay back on wax paper to set completely.
  • These look great displayed in, or given in, a unique glass or mug.

HOW TO TEMPER CHOCOLATE METHOD AND RECIPE - EPICURIOUS
Tempered chocolate has a shiny, flawless appearance. It feels firm and breaks off with a snap, and it melts smoothly in your mouth. Slowly heating and cooling melted chocolate while stirring puts it into temper.
From epicurious.com
Reviews 4.6
  • Several products exist for those who do not want to temper chocolate. They are called confectionery coatings, coating chocolate, summer coating, or chocolate bark coatings. They are usually made of vegetable fats that melt smoothly and set up quickly to a finish that is very similar to tempered chocolate. They may not contain actual chocolate. Nothing can perfectly duplicate the taste and mouth-feel of tempered chocolate, but quality coatings can be good substitutes. They can be cooled and reheated quickly, and as often as necessary.

CHOCOLATE TURTLES® (THE CANDY) RECIPE | ALLRECIPES
Hold off on melting the chocolate-I did it while the caramel was hardening, which I used parchment for not foil. I used two pecan halves per candy and instead of drizzling the chocolate, I rolled the hardened pecan-caramel mix in the chocolate so it would be well-coated all around. I used semi-sweet chips but I think I would prefer milk chocolate.
