Chocolate Covered Pretzel Rods / How To Make Dipped Pretzels

[@jamjjade]

Hi! I’m 13 years old and I’m planning a surprise party for my mom and this tutorial video helped a lot! Thank you! ❤️

[@DamenicaJ]

Thank you for watching! Glad to hear it was helpful! Good luck with your mom’s party! That’s so sweet of you! I’m sure she’ll be so pleased! 💕

[@jamjjade]

@@DamenicaJ Yep, she loved them! My family ate them all though so I’m gonna make more tomorrow 😂

[@DamenicaJ]

Lol! Make them help you this time! 😂

[@MzFaulknerC]

That’s so sweet

[@bettyb1313]

So proud of you!

[@adriananieto2349]

I gotta say the time you take to make sure that the pretzels are very clean and they don't look sloppy. I gotta say by far the best I have seen. You go girl!

[@fromthejerseyside]

I agree. A perfectionist for sure . Thank you

[@kit2130]

I like how you held it over the containers for less waste

[@DamenicaJ]

Thank you! I try to save as much as I can!

[@kimberlyarmstrong2929]

I have watched multiple videos on dipped pretzels and hands down, yours is the best. Not only do I like how you have less pretzel at the bottom, but the extra step of trimming the excess chocolate with the knife makes yours so much prettier. Thank you for this wonderful tutorial!

[@debbydickerson8510]

Hands down your tutorial is the best!! You’ve really helped me!

[@Cotishap]

@@DamenicaJ love this video. Great job

[@michelleelle4622]

5 years later and I’m impressed. I will be making these for a baby shower. Thank you! I’ve never heard of the melting flake things. Are they pretty necessary?

[@DamenicaJ]

Thank you so much!! You can use a little vegetable oil as a substitute to thin out the candy melts. I find that thinning it out is necessary with Wilton and other store bought brands. I’m sure your treats will be a hit for the shower!!

[@valerieg9494]

Wow!! Perfect and beautiful treats!

[@michelleelle4622]

So I’m not the only one watching this 5 years later! 👍🏼

[@DamenicaJ]

Thank you!! ☺️

[@raygonzales2352]

I love how accurate you are in the video. I also love how clean your lines are. Perfect!

[@DamenicaJ]

Thank you so much!! 💕 Sorry for the delayed response...my channel was hacked and I just got it back!

[@raygonzales2352]

Damenica J. You are welcome. I’m glad you got it back.

[@DamenicaJ]

Thank you!! I am too! It sure took long enough (over a month), but it was my fault in the first place. I was sent a fraudulent YT email with a link that I clicked on. As soon as I clicked it I thought, why did I do that, but it was too late. 😩

[@marykissel9273]

Thanks for getting right to it with a good demonstration and NO jabbering .......I loved your application of the chocolate too....best I've seen so far ! Merry Christmas!

[@DamenicaJ]

Thank you so much!! ☺️☺️ Merry Christmas to you too!

[@sworley1956]

Would it be easier to dip them in a tall container?

[@crazykidmod4533]

Love it but can I make a suggestion I do the same work I use a egg large container and I stand my pretzels so it won’t leave the edge lines on the back try it it looks nice

[@DamenicaJ]

Yes! Thank you for the suggestion! I’ll have to try that!

[@ellekd3717]

These are beautiful and so neatly done! But, I have to say OMG to your ring! It's gorgeous!

[@DamenicaJ]

Thank you so much! ☺️

[@feliciamonae101]

I thoroughly enjoyed it. I feel like I can make them now. Thanks!

[@legacyimpactcoaching591]

Awesome tutorial!!! My 11 yo daughter wants to make these. Two questions, How do you keep the chocolate from hardening while you’re working? It looks like the spooning took a long time. My chocolate would have been hard by then. Do you have a method for not having flat backs?

[@mmarie294]

I'm gonna try, wish you were here to guide me. Thank you so much for the video!

Hello love your chocolate covered pretzels 😊. What are the round circle treats in front is it a type of cake pop? Thanks

[@monicaroberts1336]

Awesome job, such perfectionism , now i know how

[@charlotterandolph1058]

The clear tray the pretzels are laying on what type of material? Where did you get them?

[@countryphotocountryphoto1798]

They look amazing! I have two questions, first do you room temperature harden or refrigerator? Also why is it that my milk chocolate became a cloudy color?

[@DamenicaJ]

Thank you! I let them harden at room temperature. It may just be the brand of chocolate you’re using.

[@Jae7979]

I asked my local chocolatier in my town that very question! She said that you should NEVER harden your chocolate in the fridge. It creates the cloudy film color on the chocolate as it hardens that way. Room temp only!

[@JB-ox7ib]

Love the care you took over each one. That makes them special. 🌟💕👌❤️

[@SCOOBYLOVERA06]

Is there a store I can get it from instead of Amazon?

[@natashalane7560]

These came out so pretty! Do you know about how many bags of candy melts may be needed to cover about 40 pretzel rods?

[@treatsandeats4295]

Approximately 1 bag

[@gigissw33ts]

I'm, 12 and I'll be making these for Fourth of July just a little tip for people who don't have parchment paper because I used my parchment paper will making them macaroons for fourth of July a nonstick pan with a little bit of butter or oil works just fine.

[@DamenicaJ]

Thank you for the tip! Have a great holiday weekend!

[@ramonarenteria6813]

Hi do u think I can add the sprinkles right after I have dipped in the chocolate thank u

[@brendaschriber7144]

You are excellent, I watched a lot of videos, and believe me you're is the BEST nice and neat finished products.Our daughters wedding shower is coming up and I've been so nervous to make these. I just don't know how many candy melts, I will be making the bride and grooms there will be a 150. Please wish me luck, thank you so very much!! 💜

[@DamenicaJ]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that! ☺️ It depends on what treats you’re making, but I normally get about a dozen dipped strawberries to each bag of candy melts. You’d probably get more than a dozen pretzels per bag. Good luck with your treats for your daughter’s wedding! Congratulations!

[@maryf.robbins9991]

how do you stop the chocolate from turning colors when it dries?

I love how you took your time for a perfect rod

[@kauigirl808]

Use a very tall big cup instead then you can just dip it. Thank you. I need to make this.

[@kauigirl808]

@@DamenicaJ ok your video was only on pretzel rods I believe. Just informing the viewers. 😍

[@melaniesaechao1788]

I agree! I just use a champagne glass and dip my pretzels in it then shake off the access. Then I put it on parchment and if there’s too much extra chocolate I just move the rod to another spot to dry and the excess is left in the parchment.

[@HermanosEstrella]

@@melaniesaechao1788 how do you keep the chocolate melted in the champagne glass?

[@melaniesaechao1788]

Magda Ortiz I just add more warm chocolate in it and stir it and it keeps the bottom melted. Or you can dump it back in the double boiler and spoon it back into the champagne glass.

You display your passion for cooking, candy making. I love how detailed you are and will try making these for a Bake Sale. Can you make them ahead and freeze? How long do they stay fresh?

Thank you so much! 😊 Yes, you can make them ahead of time. You can freeze them, or store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They’ll stay fresh according to the date on the package of the chocolate and the pretzels. Thank you for watching!

[@aplaceformahvideos]

May I ask if you're using a glass bowl? Does it matter?

Can you melt the chocolate on stove or in microwave if you don't have a melting pot? They look nice btw!! And after you make them do you put them in fridge?

Hi how far in advance can you make these for an event?
