I like the idea of doing carmel and chocolate covered pretzel rods for our favors. With that said I would like to have hot pink and orange chocolate to drizzle over top of them to incoorporate our colors, is there some way I can get ahold of these colors - if so where? Last, how far in advance to my wedding do you think I could make these? I have atleast 372 to make (2 a piece) .
Re: pretzel rods - chocolate
as far as time in advance you can't freeze them it ruins the pretzels, but if stored in a cool envirenment in an airtight container they can last up to a month
Packaged two together in bags that were made for pretzel rods (got them at michaels). We saw every color of wiltons melting chocolate there (including orange and pink) and originally tried dipping pretzels in pink and drizzling with yellow. Honestly, the bright colored chocolate just doesnt look as appetizing as regular chocolate, that's why we switched to the sprinkles and nuts instead.
GL!! Time consuming, but delicious!
DH and I did choc. dipped pretzel rods for our favors. We made about 400 (two per person) and it took about one hour to make 100. I think I made ours about a week in advance, and since we had the air conditioning on in the house, I just put them in air tight containers and put them in the cupboard.
We did 200 pretzels dipped in milk chocolate and rolled in chocolate sprinkles and the other 200 we dipped in white chocolate and rolled in crushed oreos.
