Easter Dipped Pretzels

There are so many great ways to dip pretzels! Pretzels rods dip easily into melted chocolate and they’re great for dipping into a tall glass. Melt the chocolates in the tall glass and then dip the pretzel rods into the chocolate for a base. Then, you can add any seasonal favorites!

These Easter Dipped Pretzels looks like a little carrot patch. Serve them as an Easter snack for kids or gift them to loved ones as a great springtime treat. Kids love to help make them and they’re easy to transport. Fun and easy is definitely my goal in the kitchen!

How To Make Easter Dipped Pretzel Rods

The only two kitchen tools you’ll need for this recipe is a tall drinking glass, rolling pin and large freezer bags for crushing the Oreos. The chocolate will be melted in the microwave, so there’s no need to worry about a double broiler. Find the decorative carrots in your local box store, or there’s carrot sprinkles on Amazon!

When To Make These Easter Dipped Pretzels

I love making these for any springtime occasion, not just for Easter! I make these for church events, potlucks and neighborhood parties. They’d be an adorable part of any Easter Dessert Tray too.

We always play this fun “You’ve Been Egged” Easter Neighborhood Game and that’s a fun way to gift treats to neighbors.

How To Keep Your Dipped Pretzels Fresh

After your chocolate has set, add the pretzels to an airtight food storage container. If you stack the pretzel rods, add layers of wax paper in-between. Keep the pretzels away from direct heat or moisture. For best freshness, enjoy the pretzels within 3-4 days of making them!

Can You Freeze These Dipped Pretzels?

Unfortunately, I don’t recommend freezing the Easter Dipped Pretzels. The pretzels don’t maintain their crisp texture and they soften a bit in the freezer. Plus, the freezer temperature can vary when the door opens, causing the chocolate to slightly soften – which means the carrots could fall off. Just make a new batch instead of freezing!

Recipe Substitutions

If you can’t find any Oreos, Nabisco Famous Chocolate Wafers work well too. If you prefer milk chocolate, instead of the white chocolate, use milk chocolate chips to dip your pretzel rods! Bunny decor is another great alternative to the carrots, if that’s all you can find. Put your own creative twist on it!

Place your Oreos in a sandwich bag and crush the cookies with a rolling pin.

Crushing Oreo Cookies

Sprinkle the crushed cookies onto the white chocolate covered pretzels. Do it a couple of times to get a nice coating.

Adding crushed Oreo to the dipped pretzel rod

Place 3 carrot candies on each pretzel. I gently press them into the chocolate so they stay secure.

Let the chocolate set for about 15 minutes or until the chocolate has hardened and enjoy! Serve with coffee for adults and ice cream for kids. They are also great on a dessert tray.
