Like salty and sweet treats? Then try these college version chocolate “covered” pretzels:
What You Need:
Bag of pretzels
Bag of chocolate candy (Hershey’s Kisses or chocolate chips, for example)
Microwave safe bowl
Cooking Instructions:
1. Fill your bowl with chocolate
2. Microwave for 1 minute
3. Stir the chocolate to prevent it from burning
4. Microwave for 30 more seconds
5. Stir
6. If needed, microwave in 15 minutes increments until the chocolate is ready
Pro Tip: You want to stop microwaving BEFORE all the chocolate is completely melted. The process of stirring at the very end will melt everything all of the way.
Now you have two options:
Just dip the pretzels in the chocolate and enjoy as is OR submerge the pretzels in the chocolate using a fork, tap of the excess chocolate, place the pretzels on saran wrap or wax paper so they don’t stick, and wait for them to harden
And you’re done!
