Ingredients
- 10–12 jumbo pretzel rods
- 10 oz melting milk chocolate
- 1 cup crushed graham crackers
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- Optional: flaky salt
- Prep your setup: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lay out the pretzel rods so they’re ready to go. This makes cleanup a breeze and keeps the chocolate from sticking.
- Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt about three-quarters of the chocolate in 20–30 second bursts, stirring in between, until smooth and glossy.
- Roll the pretzels: Pour the melted chocolate onto a sheet of parchment paper. Working one pretzel rod at a time, roll it through the chocolate until it’s nicely coated.
- Add the s’mores magic: Immediately sprinkle crushed graham crackers over the chocolate and gently press mini marshmallows onto the coated part while the chocolate is still melty to ensure everything sticks well.
- Set the rods: Place each finished rod back onto the baking sheet and let them sit at room temperature until the chocolate hardens.
- Toast and drizzle (optional but fun!): If using a kitchen torch, lightly toast the marshmallows for that classic campfire flavor. Then melt the remaining chocolate and drizzle it over the top. For an extra flavor boost, add a pinch of flaky salt while the drizzle is still wet.
- Let them set completely: Once everything is fully set and the chocolate is firm, the pretzel rods are ready to be served, shared, or enjoyed immediately.
Notes
- Use melting chocolate or chocolate chips specifically designed for melting to ensure smooth coverage.
- If you don’t have a kitchen torch, you can skip toasting the marshmallows or toast them briefly under a broiler but watch carefully to avoid burning.
- Store the finished pretzel rods in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain the best texture.
- The flaky salt is optional but enhances the sweet and salty flavor combination beautifully.
