If you have kids I highly recommend you making this with them – my kids loved this. We plan on making more on Christmas Eve to bring down to family when we go visit.
Christmas Chocolate Dipped Pretzels
2013-12-16 22:34:40
Prep Time
20 min
Ingredients
- Any kind of pretzels (I used rod salted pretzels) I just grabbed a bowl full
- 2 1/2 cups of Chocolate Chips
- Various Sprinkle Candy and Crushed Candy Canes
Instructions
- 1 Took 2 candy canes and placed them in a Ziploc baggie and on the flat side of a meat tenderizer son son pounded the candy canes into tiny pieces. The in a microwave bowl I melted the chocolate chips. I placed a silicone sheet on a pan (if you do not have the silicone sheet you can use wax paper). The kids dipped the pretzels in the melted chocolate placed on the pan sheet and sprinkled the candies over the chocolate. When all the pretzels were done I placed in the refrigerator for the chocolate to harden for approximately 15 minutes.
Notes
- This is a great activity to do with kids - no baking involved plus they will love to eat their completed goodies!

Definitely kid-friendlyt!
These do make a fun project! I wish there were more gluten free pretzel options out there!
I love pretzels… Will try this.
These look so yummy! I really like when kids can help with cooking! Great pictures!
These would be nice to make for Santa.
Chocolate covered pretzels are my favorite holiday treat. I always secretly hope that my family makes them every year. But after finding out how easy they are, maybe we’ll try our hand this year (its never too late right?!).
I love this idea and have seen this in one of my cook books! Such a great idea and I will do this with my son.
Thanks for posting. xo
I doubt we could actually keep any of those around for snacking later.
I can already imagine my little ones licking the chocolate off of each pretzel.
yum- love the salty and sweet combo!
What a great recipe and sooo much fun to make.. looks like ALL the kids had a blast… will try to make it Christmas Eve with the kids to keep them busy…thanks for sharing
What a fun way to include kids in the holiday baking extravaganza! I think I might have to add this to my list of things to do with my niece and nephews 🙂
I dont like peppermint, but this does look like fun and EASY project for the break.
We have made these in the past and they are so easy (and delicious)! I bet the kids had a blast!
We just did these with a Halloween theme. Love how EASY they are and can make to fit any season.
That looks so easy! I have lots of sprinkles left to use up – so maybe I will make this with the kids
I know my daughter would love making these with me! We will have to try it out!
I’m in need of some quick treats, these look like a great use for my sprinkle collection too
What a simple, but yummy treat. My kids love sweet and salty treat. I love the sprinkles, so festive. They would be a great snack for my kids and their friends over the holiday break.
Yum these look so good and I bet the kids loved making them too!
Those look really good. We like the combo of chocolate and pretzels too!
I love chocolate and pretzels together. These turned out great and are so festive!
Wow, this looks really simple AND tasty. Great pics too! I’ll have to make this with our three year old. She’d love it!
Salty and sweet is a winning combo in my book!
Great idea! I might make these for our christmas party
we make these every year and send into my husbands office 🙂
What a fun project. And, this hits those craving salt and sugar/chocolate.
Yum! I love that this is easy enough for the kids to do.
As much as I love pretzels, I can’t believe I’ve never made these. They look fantastic!
This recipe does look like a fun thing to do with the kids. I have 3 kids ages 3, 6, and 8. We love to make all kinds of stuff together. We baked cookies today. My girls love to help make casserole, We make mini pizzas with muffins. This will be a riot. we have 2 days left then we are out for Christmas break. Thanks for sharing.
I love that these are no-bake. My son would do this for hours and not get bored!
This is one of those great desserts that people think you took hours to make. They taste good and look great!
Chocolate covered pretzels are my favorite.
I love chocolate covered pretzels and never thought to add crushed candy cane..brilliant. I cant wait to make these w/my 4 yr old son. So festive!

Yummy! These look good and I bet they taste great.
I LOVE these, they are always so easy to make and make great gifts too.
I meant to try this last year, but we never got around to it. We’ll do it this year for sure!

My mouth is watering….. 😉
