How Long are Chocolate Covered Pretzels Good For?

Chocolate covered pretzels can stay fresh for up to two weeks when stored properly. Make sure to keep them in a tight-fitting container and store them in cool temperatures.

If it's summer or the weather is warm, consider refrigerating them. Exciting, right?

Substitutions and Variations

How to Dip Chocolate Covered Pretzels

• Step 3: Using a fork or a candy dipping tool, submerge one pretzel twist into the melted chocolate, making sure it is fully coated. Tap the fork on the side of the bowl to allow any excess chocolate to drip off.
• Step 4: Lay on a baking tray that's been lined with parchment paper.

How to Decorate Chocolate Covered Pretzels

• Step 4: As soon as you lay the pretzels on the parchment paper, sprinkle them with sprinkles, drizzle with another color candy melt, and decorate with candy googly eyes.
• Step 5: Chill in the fridge for an hour to harden candy.

Storage Tips

• Allow the chocolate covered pretzels to completely harden before stacking them in an airtight container between layers of parchment paper.
• Chocolate covered pretzels can stay fresh for up to two weeks when stored properly.

Freezing Tips

• I do not recommend freezing chocolate covered pretzels.
• While in the freezer, they may develop freezer burn or lose their texture and flavor.
