What is the best chocolate for chocolate covered pretzels? Bittersweet, dark, etc.?

Answer 1

It depends on individual taste. I like semi-sweet. Something about the saltiness of the pretzel and the sweetness of the chocolate make for some yummy goodness!

Answer 2

I love white chocolate covered pretzels :P

Answer 3

use chocolate candy bark, you buy it in 1 1/2 pound blocks. melt it in the microwave. chill a cookie sheet and the chocolate wont run, makes a nicer looking pretzel.

Answer 4

I think MILK chocolate is the best. Ghirardelli works GREAT for this. Make sure to temper your chocolate correctly, or it will never set up on the pretzels! ;)

Answer 5

I like *** it depends on the kind of chocolate you like ***
* milk chocolate
* white chocolate
* semi-sweet dark chocolate
So if you are thinking on making them for a get together I would do all kinds of different kinds of chocolate and toppings like almonds, peanuts, toasted coconuts, pistachios etc.

Answer 6

I prefer bittersweet. And as others have said, don't forget to temper the chocolate with a little butter or oil.

Answer 7

I would say, use the chocolate that you would eat alone. For instance, since I like white chocolate, I would use that, and then I would drizzle it with some milk chocolate. Just make something that you would eat yourself.

Answer 8

pure milk chocolate ,and remember when you melt the chocolate add a tsp of butter flavor crisco it helps the chocolate stick to pretzel .

Answer 9

I use chocolate chips....melt them in a double broiler.

When i make white chocolate stuff I use Bakers semisweet chocolate. I would say the best is Bakers. As far as the flavor..its whatever you prefer.

Answer 10

Use semi sweet in a double boiler with a little melted butter and a little heavy cream. Then dip pretzels.
