Pretzel Sparklers Recipe

Creamy chocolate, crunchy pretzels, and flavored sugars like Salted Caramel Sugar give a fun twist to these chocolate-covered pretzel sparklers. Use some of our favorites or use your imagination to create your own unique version of this classic party snack!

From The Spice & Tea Exchange^®
¾ cup of your favorite Sugar
(or a combination of them - see preparation steps for ideas)

From the Grocer
2 cups white chocolate chips
2 cups milk chocolate chips
4 tsp vegetable shortening, divided
1 - 12 oz bag pretzel rods

COMBINE white chocolate chips and 2 tsp vegetable shortening in a microwave-safe bowl.
COMBINE milk chocolate chips and 2 tsp vegetable shortening in another microwave-safe bowl.
MELT each chocolate batch by microwaving in 30 sec increments, stirring in-between, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
DIP each pretzel rod into the chocolate and use a spoon to spread the chocolate about ¾ of the way up the pretzel. Drizzle with the other chocolate if desired. Sprinkle with your favorite Sugar. Place on wax paper and allow chocolate to harden (refrigeration will speed this up).

Some of our favorite pretzel combinations include:
Blueberry Sugar + Raspberry Sugar + white chocolate
Dark Cocoa Sugar + Raspberry Sugar + white chocolate
Coconut Sugar + Lemon Sugar + milk chocolate
Salted Caramel Sugar + milk chocolate
