Alison, These sound delish!. Just so I have it right. Are the pretzals you are talking of about 1 1/2 in in diamter, hard crunchy salty pretzals? I'm a lover of white chocolate and am thinking of trying this with white choco chips, if I can't find white kisses. I'd probably have to cluster several chips. Do you put tin foil on the baking sheet? Or spray with pam?
Yes, they are just regular, small, hard pretzels. If you can find the waffle kind, it's best.
You can use just about any chocolate, just watch baking time REALLY closely to make sure of the time for whatever you choose. If you overbake, the chocolate gets hard and grainy.
I didn't use foil and I didn't spray. Clean up was easy. :)
Truffles? Haven't tried those. Are they gooey chocolate filled or something?
I saw the cherry cordial kisses but worried they would just run all over.
I'd probably like dark chocolate the best. But thinking it might even work with those mini Reese's? I know some use Rolos (that's the "caramel-filled chocolate" in the recipe).
