Caramel and coconut chocolate covered pretzels 001

No Favorite Things Thursday today.

But I have my favorite chocolate covered pretzels for you.

Theeeeeeeeeese are my favorite.

You know what they remind me of?

Samoa Girls Scout Cookies! uh-huh…they sure do.

Oh my.

Gooey caramel, chocolate and toasted coconut.

All my favorite things in one place.

It’s a happy day.

Do me a favor, if you make these, don’t be lazy and not toast the coconut.

Toasted coconut ROCKS.

Caramel and Coconut Chocolate Covered Pretzels
Ingredients
  • 1 10oz. package Pretzel Rods
  • 14 oz. package Caramel Candies(suck as Kraft Caramels), unwrapped
  • 2 tablespoons Water
  • 1 package semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 cups shredded coconut, toasted
Instructions
  1. Line 1 or two baking sheets with non-stick foil.
  2. Assemble one pretzel at a time.
  3. Place the caramels and water into a microwave safe bowl.
  4. Microwave in 30 second intervals until melted and smooth.
  5. Pour melted chocolate into a tall glass such as a pint glass.
  6. Spread a thinish layer of caramel over the pretzel, leaving about 1 1/2″ of bear pretzel at the bottom(the part you hold).
  7. Dip pretzel in chocolate and remove the excess by twisting the pretzel rod against the side of the glass and removing at the same time (see my video).
  8. Sprinkle with toasted coconut.
  9. Place on baking sheet and when finished with all the pretzels, place in refrigerator for 10 minutes to set.
Notes

Makes about 20-25 Pretzel Rods.

To toast coconut, spread the coconut onto a cookie sheet.
Toast at 350 for about 5 minutes until golden. Stir often and keep an eye on it, it will burn quickly.

To melt chocolate, place the chocolate chips into a microwaveable bowl, cook for 1 minute. Stir. Cook again for 30 seconds. Stir. Continue cooking for 15 second increments, stirring in-between each interval until completely melted.

  1. These are quite possibly one of the best things I’ve ever heard of.

    I need a whole pile of them for breakfast!!

  2. I think I’d like you to special delivery these to me. Tomorrow. Or Today. ASAP. They look delicious

  3. When I saw the name of these, I knew these would be my favorite, too. Must try these.

  4. Girl, you are speaking my language! I think we could also rename these “Bribing Sticks” don’t you think?

  5. These are probably my favorite pretzels all week!

  6. I still haven’t gotten on board with the whole chocolate and bacon thing. I will have to try it, one day.
