Ingredients
- dark chocolate
- milk chocolate
- pretzels
- sugar transfer sheets
Step 1: Temper The Chocolate
Keep stirring throughout this entire process: bring the chocolate to almost a boil, bring the temperature right back down, and then bring it back up again only slightly, alternating between a couple of degrees only each time. Repeat this rhythm until the chocolate is wonderfully smooth and non-crystallized.
Step 2: Dip The Pretzels
Delicately dip each pretzel half way into the chocolate. After you take each one out, immediately but slowly turn the pretzel upside down for a few moments to make sure not too much chocolate gathers on top of the pretzel. Place the dipped pretzels onto the sugar transfer paper, and leave them to rest and dry.
Step 3: Create A Small Piping Bag
Take a triangular sheet of baking paper, place it down onto the worktop, bring both corners inwards folding it into itself, and keep tucking it in until it's a nice tight cone.
Step 4: Decorate The Pretzels
Pour your milk chocolate into your own-made piping bag. Do a test squeeze to ensure that you have made it properly. Very slowly and gently squeeze the bag and drizzle the chocolate across the pretzels in decorative lines.
Step 5: Serve
Very gently peel the pretzels from the sugar paper. You will see now that the transfer paper has imprinted some of its design onto the backside of the pretzels. Serve the pretzels.
