Did you try any of these methods? Which is your favorite?

[@heathermaver2909]

Cleaning chocolate out of the tall glass is a pain. Using the piping bag will make cleanup so much easier! Thank you 😊

[@nancytownsend8674]

I like the first and third they seem to be the easiest in the least expensive period I never thought of putting in plastic guy icing decorator bag inside the cup. I would’ve just poured the melted chocolate into the cup without one. I wish I had seen this prior to making pretzel rods for the first timea couple weeks ago. I will definitely keep this in mind for the next time. Thank you for making the

Your first dip for dipping pretzels is great!!! Thanks so much, it's going to be so much easier to do them now.

Thank you!! I was about to buy the Wilton cups but after seeing that first method I'm sold on that one.

I alwways dip in a tall glass, but how do you NOT get a flat side when yo lay them on the parchment paper? Also please give more details on the drizzling part - yours are so even - mine come out clumpy!

[@ShopCountryKitchen]

If you shake off as much excess chocolate as possible, it will help to reduce the "flat side" when setting the chocolate covered pretzel rod on parchment paper. If your chocolate is coming out clumpy, try adding paramount crystals to the chocolate. We recommend adding 1-2TBSP per 1# of chocolate. This will thin out the chocolate to the perfect consistency for dipping & drizzling!

[@cynthiashallit7832]

what's that candy coating product that you use to drizzle on the rods?

[@ShopCountryKitchen]

We melted down candy coating & poured it into a tipless bag! I will link it below for you.

Thanks ❤

[@maryannwalsh-fl3fv]

If making a week ahead of time, should they be stored in the refrigerator or at room temperature?

[@ShopCountryKitchen]

They will be perfect at room temperature- just make sure they are sealed & kept out of the sun!

[@carriej4576]

Doesn't the almond bark get hard too fast on the parchment? It would cool down too fast and get hard, how do you prevent that?

[@ShopCountryKitchen]

The product used in the video is called Candy Coating or Candy Melts. This product stays fluid for longer than almond bark, but will still need replaced occasionally with warmed product. But, we would not suggest this method it you have 100s to dip!

[@dawncapro9175]

How do you get the different colors?

[@ShopCountryKitchen]

We put colored candy melt wafers into tipless bags & melted them in 20 second intervals in the microwave!

[@BillSchondel]

Our butterscotch is too thick. How can we thin it out?

[@ShopCountryKitchen]

Paramount Crystals can be added- 1-2T per pound of chocolate. More can be added if needed. The link is below if you are interested in purchasing! www.countrykitchensa.com/shop/ingredients-icing-colors-flavors/paramount-crystals/46/593/794/619061/
