Chocolate-covered pretzels make tasty party snacks.
Chocolate-covered pretzels provide the perfect combination of sweet and salty. If you're hosting a New Year's Eve party, set out bowls of chocolate-covered pretzels for guests to enjoy and nibble on. Finger foods will allow partygoers to mix and mingle while snacking. Commemorate the occasion by giving the chocolate-covered pretzels a festive look.
Colorful Pretzel Rods
Jazz up salty pretzel rods by covering them colorful candy sprinkles. Dip 3/4 of each rod into white, dark or milk chocolate and lay them on a parchment or wax paper. While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle the rods with festive candy sprinkles in shades of red, green, purple or blue. You can completely cover the chocolate in sprinkles or apply them in decorative stripes. Guests can hold on to the bottom of the rods without getting chocolate on their hands.
Mint-Covered Pretzels
Get into the holiday spirit by accenting chocolate-dipped pretzels with peppermint bits. Completely cover pretzel twists with melted dark or white chocolate. Crush candy canes into fine pieces and sprinkle them onto the chocolate. Other festive pretzel toppings include red hots and crushed almonds or cashews. For a winter wonderland appearance, sprinkle white chocolate-covered pretzels with coconut flakes.
Sparkling Sugared Pretzels
Make your chocolate-covered pretzels extra sweet and shiny by sprinkling them with sanding sugar. Sanding sugar, which is coarser than its traditional white counterpart, reflects light to create sparkle. Enrobe pretzel rods or twists in any type of melted chocolate and dust them with shimmering iridescent, silver or gold sanding sugar for a celebratory look.
Confetti-Topped Pretzels
When midnight rolls around, your New Year's Eve party guests can celebrate with confetti-topped pretzels. Dip any type of pretzels in rich chocolate and sprinkle them with colorful edible confetti, which is made from sugar. To fit the special occasion, choose confetti featuring shapes such as diamonds, stars and snowflakes.
