Pretzel Rods
Author: Tracy Wellmann
Ingredients
  • - pretzel rods
  • - candy candy wafers {see here what i used for these}
  • - walnuts
  • - Reese's Pieces Minis
  • - pretzel rod bags (found at in the cake decorating section)
Instructions
  1. To crumble up the walnuts finer I ran them through my mini chopper. To break up the reese's pieces I placed a handful in a zip lock bag and crushed them with my mallet.
  2. melt chocolate according to package directions.
  3. working quickly I held the pretzel rod in one hand and took a knife or spreader and smoothed on the chocolate with my other hand. It did not work well for me to dip them into the chocolate. I was able to work faster with spreading on the chocolate myself. Working with two paper plates I sprinkled on the walnuts to some rods and mini reese's pieces on the others. I worked off of two plates because I was able to shake toppings onto one and using the other plate to catch the excess while sprinkling on the toppings. This helps with mess and also to catch those toppings that fall while sprinkling.
  4. to dry I would stand the rods up in a glass and place in the freezer for about 10 minutes to harden and set.
