CHOCOLATE DIPPED CANDIED ORANGE AND LEMON ZEST AND CHOCOLATE COVERED PRETZELS

Steps:

• Melt the chopped chocolate in a water bath until it reaches 115 degrees F, stirring until very smooth. Pour 2/3 of the chocolate on to a marble slab or work surface. With a metal spatula, work the chocolate by spreading it back and forth across the work surface for at least 3 minutes until it is thick and on the point of setting. With a scraper, quickly transfer the chocolate from the marble to the reserved chocolate. Reheat the chocolate in the water bath.
• The chocolate needs to reach 84 degrees F before dipping. Using the candy dipping fork, dip some of the pretzels in the milk chocolate. Allow to dry on a piece of wax paper. Follow the same procedure with the candied oranges and lemons. Let the candy set in the refrigerator.

• With a fork or dipping spoon, place pretzels into completely melted chocolate. Roll around gently but quickly with the dipper until well covered. Carefully remove and allow excess to drip off and then place on waxed paper to set.
• Drizzle with coloring melts (red & green) for added decoration.

HALLOWEEN CHOCOLATE DIPPED PRETZELS

Steps:

• Chop BAKER'S Premium White Chocolate into small pieces and place in a microwave-safe glass or bowl. Melt it in the microwave for 1-2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds. Another option is to use a double boiler and then pour the melted chocolate into a bowl after it is melted.
• Once the chocolate is melted, dip the pretzel rods down into it and use a spoon or spatula to cover all but the lower 1-2 inches.
• Let the dipped pretzels sit on wax paper or a silpat mat (on the counter or in the refrigerator) for a few minutes to cool/harden.
• Decorate as desired. For example, add/roll in sprinkles or rewarm the remaining chocolate to soften it back up and pour into a decorator bag or plastic baggie. Attach decorator tip or snip off one corner of the baggie and pipe white chocolate back and forth and add in chocolate chips as eyes to look like a mummy.
• Let cool for 1-2 hours, or until chocolate is hard. Store in an air-tight container at room temperature.

DIPPED PRETZELS WHITE OR CHOCOLATE

Steps:

• 1. Prepare work surface or sheet pans by laying out or lining with wax paper, parchment paper or foil. This is where you will be placing the dipped pretzels for drying. Place pretzels in large bowl for easy access.
• 2. In a double boiler over med low heat place water in bottom pan. Make sure the water level does not touch the bottom of the top pan. Do not let the water boil, and make sure no water or steam gets into the top pan. In top pan place vanilla candy coating or chips and wax (the wax helps thin the candy coating so you may want to add a little more than indicated in recipe.) Stir mixture often until mixture is smooth and wax in incorporated. Remove top pan from heat. (I like to place pan on a dishtowel to sop up moisture on bottom of pan, plus it helps hold in some of the heat.)
• 3. Grab a handful of pretzels and place into the melted candy mixture. With a *fork or candy dipping tool make sure pretzels are coated throughly. Remove one at a time, drain off excess or dripping candy mixture and place on prepared surface for drying. Repeat until you have desired amount of dipped pretzels. Leave until completely dry. There may still be some excess dried candy mixture around edges of pretzels. It can be broken off carefully so as not to chip it off the whole pretzel. If you like double dipped pretzels, repeat process or take the melted mixture and drizzle over the dipped pretzels or can be done using melted chocolate chips or candy coating. Store in a container with tight fitting lid with wax paper or parchment between layers. Keep in a cool place, can be stored in fridge or be frozen. When removing from fridge or freezer, place on counter top. Do not remove lid or packageing until candy has reached room temperature. Place several pretzels in candy cups for gift giving boxes or place desired amount in cellophane bags tied with ribbon for baskets. NOTE: * When I first started making candy I used a wire coat hanger bent like a paperclip for a handle and a hook on the other end for hooking the pretzles out of the candy mixture.
