There are generally three different chocolates available (dark, milk and white chocolate) in Chocolate button forms. These are round disks of chocolate about 1 inch round. These have palm oil and are a wonderful choice for melting and dipping using chocolates. If you can’t find chocolate buttons, then use brick chocolate. ‘Brick’ chocolate comes available in whole or part broken brick form.
White Chocolate Prezels
Prep Time 10 minutes mins
Cook Time 20 minutes mins
Total Time 30 minutes mins
- 6-8 ounces Chocolate best quality chocolate (Dark, milk or white)
- 1 bag Stick Pretzels and/or regular shaped pretzels, any thickness
Place the chocolates into a small 1 cup or smaller bowl. Have a small wooden spoon, small whisk or small spatula ready.
Have an adult or teen with permission – melt chocolates using microwave oven in 20 second bursts. After each burst stir once then repeat until chocolates are slightly warmer than your lower lip.
Prepare a place to put the pretzels once dipped so that they can go into the freezer. (Chef’s trick: I use a sheet pan lined with either a silicon mat, wax or parchment paper.)
Dip a pretzel, one at a time, ½ way or ¾ way into the chocolate, then place on the sheet pan.
When done place the sheet pan into the refrigerator for an hour or freezer for 15 minutes. The chocolate will setup and thicken.
