How do you make chocolate-covered pretzels from truffles?
Microwave ovens make it easier than ever to make chocolate-covered pretzels from truffles. While you can use a double-boiler to melt the trufffles the old-style way, using a microwave saves time on clean-up and works just as well. The things you need to gather before you begin are:
- 1 bag of pretzels, sticks or twisted
- 1 package of truffles, pick you favorite flavor
- Microwave safe bowl
- Spoon
- Wax paper
The steps to follow are:
- Fill the bowl about half-way full with truffles.
- Microwave the truffles on high heat for between 10 and 15 seconds.
- Stir the melted truffles. If not completely melted, microwave for 10 more seconds. Do not over-heat the trufles because excessive heat will scorch the chocolate and change the flavor.
- Spread the wax paper – about two feet long – on a flat area. Set the bowl of melted truffles beside the wax paper.
- Dip the pretzels in the melted truffles, and place on the wax paper until the chocolate sets up. Leave a small area of each pretzel uncoated so you can handle the pretzels without getting your fingers in the chocolate.
Even you can make deliciously easy chocolate-covered pretzels following these easy few steps! • Buy a big bag of pretzels or pretzel sticks. • Melt a bag of Lindor or generic truffles in the microwave. • Dip your pretzels in the melted truffle chocolate; then roll in your favorite toppings. • Stick the pretzels in the refrigerator until chocolate is solid. Eat and enjoy.
