Caramelized White Chocolate Covered Pretzels

These white chocolate covered pretzels aren't made with just any regular white chocolate, but with gorgeous golden caramelized white chocolate. Of course, you could always use regular white chocolate or even dark chocolate, but there's something about the combination of salty pretzels and high-quality white chocolate with notes of caramel.

Why you'll love these caramelized white chocolate covered pretzels

• Addicting Sweet & Salty Flavor: The crunch of the pretzels married with the sweet caramelized white chocolate topped with flaky sea salt... SO addicting. 
• Three Ingredients: All you need are mini pretzels, chocolate, and flaky sea salt! 
• Customizable: Choose your favorite chocolate and decorate them however you'd like! Add sprinkles, color regular white chocolate, sandwich them together with peanut butter... the options are endless 🙂

Ingredient Notes

• White Chocolate: True white chocolate contains at least 20% cocoa butter. I highly recommend using a true high-quality white chocolate, such as Ghirardelli, Valrhona, or Callebaut.
• Pretzels: Use any type of pretzel you'd like!
• Flaky Sea Salt: Though the flaky sea salt is technically optional, it kind of isn't. Trust me, don't skip the flaky sea salt!

Step by Step Instructions

This no bake sweet & salty snack couldn't be any easier! Just melt your favorite chocolate or make this caramelized white chocolate, dip some mini pretzels, and chill until set. So easy and so so good. For the full ingredient list and method, see the recipe card at the end of this post.

STEP 1: Make the chocolate. Make the caramelized white chocolate by baking high-quality white chocolate at 200 degrees F in 10 minute intervals until light golden. For more detailed instructions, see this post.

STEP 2: Dip. Dip the pretzels in the melted caramelized white chocolate. Shake them off over the bowl to drip off the excess before placing on the parchment paper.  

STEP 3: Drizzle and chill. Drizzle more caramelized white chocolate on top, sprinkle with flaky sea salt, then chill in the fridge for at least 10 minutes. 

STEP 4: Enjoy. Peel the pretzels off of the parchment paper and enjoy! 

Expert Baking Tips

• Line your baking sheet with parchment paper for easy removal of the pretzels and easy cleanup!
• Be sure to let them chill for at least 10 minutes so the chocolate fully sets. 
• Make these ahead of time for snacks throughout the week or to bring to a party!

Storage Tips

Store these white chocolate covered pretzels in the fridge to ensure the chocolate does not melt and for best flavor. 

All of the recipes on this blog are carefully developed with gram measurements so you can easily recreate them in your own kitchen with success. Volume measurements are extremely inaccurate and leave room for significant errors. Not all measuring cups are made equally, so your one cup of flour will be different from my one cup of flour. By providing precise measurements in grams (aside from minor ingredients, which are given in tsp/tbsp), you can make these recipes accurately and with less cleanup! All you need is this kitchen scale. 

If this still isn't enough to convince you, I have provided volume measurements in the recipe card. If you are interested in understanding the conversions, this is the best conversion chart.

But trust me, once you try baking in grams you'll never turn back!

Happy baking! x
