How to Make Chocolate covered Pretzels with Heath Toffee

The ultimate answer to your sweet and salty tooth in one awesome snack. Everyone will rave over these pretzels and the best part is making them is fast and easy.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 1 lb bag Milk Chocolate wafers
• Large Pretzels
• Heath toffee bits
• Microwave-safe casserole dish
• Cookie sheet
• Wax paper
• 2 Forks
• 1 Spoon

1. Cover a cookie sheet with wax paper.

2. Put 1 lb. of milk chocolate wafers in microwave-safe casserole dish. Microwave for 40 seconds at a time then remove dish from microwave, stir and repeat until you have melted liquid-like chocolate.

3. Place a pretzel in with the chocolate, turning with the forks to fully coat it, then transfer pretzel to wax paper covered cookie sheet.

4. Sprinkle Heath toffee bits on the chocolate coated pretzels after every 6-8 pretzels to ensure you get topping on before the chocolate begins to set.

5. Use the spoon to drizzle extra chocolate over the pretzels and Heath toffee bits to ensure the candy sticks to the chocolate covered pretzel completely.

6. Place cookie sheet in freezer on a flat surface for 5-10 minutes to allow chocolate and candy pieces to harden. Be sure pretzels do not slide as you put the cookie sheet in the freezer otherwise pretzels will stick together.

Tips & Warnings

• Replace or combine Heath toffee pieces with Reese's Peanut Butter Chips, coconut or any other topping you like to create different varieties.
• Filling the holes in the pretzels with your toppings will let you get more 'stuff' on each pretzel - just drizzle extra chocolate heavily.
• Substitute milk chocolate wafers for dark chocolate or white chocolate if you prefer, however, please note that white chocolate does not seem to melt as well and maintains a thicker consistency making it harder to dip which means you get less pretzels dipped by 1 pound bag of white chocolate.
• Be generous when drizzling chocolate over the toppings - the drizzle acts as the 'glue' so you do not have a tray full of loose toppings when you take the pretzels out of the freezer.
• Chocolate wafers can be found at craft stores such as A.C. Moore or Michaels.
• Microwaving chocolate for more than 40 seconds at a time without stirring may cause chocolate to overheat and not melt well.
• Be sure to put approximately 20 minutes aside to dip pretzels because if you start and have to stop to do something else midway through, the chocolate will harden. Remelting does not seem to get the chocolate to the same liquid-like consistency as the original melting.
