Chocolate pretzel rods are fun and fabulous DIY wedding favors. They’re easy to make and perfect for brides on a budget.
The key to great tasting chocolate pretzel rods is to not cheap out on the chocolate. I used Ghiradelli semi-sweet chocolate chips. Also, to ensure freshness, I wouldn’t make these more than a few days before your wedding.

Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 bag Pretzels rods (Depending on where you live, pretzel rods might not be easy to find. I hunted high and low and finally found them at Micheal’s. I’m guessing that they are are a popular Christmas treat because I got the last bag!)
- 1 bag of Ghiradelli semi-sweet Chocolate Chips
- Chocolate Sprinkles , nuts or white chocolate chips
- Project Cost
- Cheap

Place chocolate in a double boiler and melt.

3
For easy dipping, find a tall glass or vessel in which to pour your melted chocolate.

4
Dip pretzel rod into chocolate, leaving about an inch at the end.

5
Let excess chocolate drip off of the end of the pretzel rod.

6
Place chocolate pretzel rods onto a wax paper lined baking sheet. The chocolate will pool underneath it, creating a flat side to the pretzel. This is normal and nothing to fret about. Also, you can shave off any excess chocolate with a knife once it has set.

7
Add chocolate sprinkles or nuts. I brought the chocolate pretzel rods outside into the cold air and let the chocolate set just a wee bit before I added the sprinkles, that way the sprinkles didn’t slide off the top. You can also drizzle them with white chocolate, but make sure you let the semi-sweet chocolate set first. If you are giving these as wedding favors, simply place inside a cellophane bag and add a tag.
