Chocolate and Coconut Pretzels #DIY #TreatBags

February 11, 2016 By Milena Barrett

Chocolate covered pretzels

Party favors, class room treats, hostess gifts you name it, I’ve made them! One of my favorite gift bag treats are Chocolate Covered Pretzels! After dipping in chocolate you can coat them with so many things; coconut flakes, sprinkles, crushed cookies, cereal and so much more. It’s easy, quick and makes a great impression. It’s also easy enough that kids can make it with just a little help. We just made a batch for Valentine treat bags for the classroom. I had also given these out for party favors. People love a homemade treat even if it’s not completely homemade.
