I love to give food gifts during the holiday season even more than that I love to receive them! Nothing says love like a homemade treat and these Chocolate Caramel Pretzel Rods are the prefect way to say it!!

I volunteer weekly at a local food bank with two other ladies from my church. This year I wanted to give them a little something to say thanks for all the laughs and just being great people to work with. I finally decided on these Chocolate Caramel Pretzel Rods and the ladies loved them

My tip for making these chocolate caramel dipped pretzels:

Melt the chocolate and caramel in a tall microwave safe glass. Using a glass will make it easier to cover more of the pretzel with less mess than pouring or spreading the the chocolate and caramel.

To make these Chocolate Caramel Pretzel Rods you only need five ingredients:

pretzel rods
milk chocolate chips
caramel candies
white chocolate chips
white candy melts

You will also need:

two tall microwave safe drinking glasses
parchment paper
pipping bag

How to make Chocolate Caramel Pretzel Rods:

Begin by placing the unwrapped caramels in a microwave safe tall drinking glass and heat on 50% power for 1-2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until melted.

Next, dip the pretzel about 3/4 of the way down into the melted caramel. Place dipped pretzel rods on a parchment paper lined pan and place them in the freezer for 15-20 minutes or until the caramel is hardened.

Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave safe tall drinking glass and heat on 50% power for 3-4 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until melted and pour into another tall glass.

Dip the hardened caramel dipped pretzel rods 3/4 of the way into the melted chocolate chips allowing excess chocolate drip off then place onto a parchment paper lined plate or pan.

Return the pretzels to the freezer for about 15-20 minutes or until the chocolate hardens.

in a microwave safe bowl melt the candy whites on 50% power for 3-4 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds until melted. Pour the melted candies into a into a pipping bag and cut a tiny tip off the point of the bag.

Once the chocolate is hardened remove the dipped pretzels from the freezer. Then using the pipping bag drizzle the melted white chocolate over the pretzels.

Immediately press your milk and white chocolate chips onto the white chocolate while it is still soft.

Finally, allow the pretzels to set for another 15 minutes or until the white chocolate has hardened.

Not only are the pretzels delicious they are fun and festive! So if you are looking for a last minute or super simple treat to give to neighbors or co-workers these Chocolate Caramel Pretzel Rods are perfect!

Happy Cooking Y’all!
