Easy Gluten-Free Chocolate-Covered Mini Pretzels (Dairy-Free)
Setting the Table
This is one of those simple treats that always disappears fast.
No baking. No big cleanup. Just a little chocolate and a handful of pretzels.
It’s especially great for kids — quick to make, easy to eat, and just the right amount of sweet. I make these when we want something fun without turning it into a whole project.
Filling the Bowl
What You’ll Need
Gluten-free mini pretzels
Dairy-free semi-sweet chocolate chips
Wax paper or parchment paper
A microwave-safe bowl
A cookie sheet or flat tray
Creating the Magic
Measure 1 tablespoon of semi-sweet chocolate chips into a very small microwave-safe bowl.
Microwave for about 1 minute and 10 seconds, then stir until smooth.
Take the pretzels straight from the bag and place them on wax paper.
Dip one side of each pretzel into the melted chocolate.
Place the pretzels chocolate-side up back on the wax paper.
Continue until the chocolate is used. This makes about a dozen mini pretzels.
Place the tray in the freezer for about 5 minutes to set.
Seasoning with Wisdom
One tablespoon of chocolate goes further than you think.
If the chocolate needs a little help melting, give it a few extra seconds and stir again.
This is a great “small batch” treat when you don’t want leftovers hanging around.
Planning Ahead
I like to eat these straight from the freezer.
You can also store them in a cool place and grab one when the craving hits.
Perfect for after-school snacks, a quick dessert, or a little something sweet after dinner.
Serving My Final Thoughts
This is one of those recipes that reminds me that eating gluten- and dairy-free can be simple. Sometimes it’s just about keeping things familiar and enjoying the moment — chocolate and all.
