- 8 oz. bittersweet or semi-sweet chocolate, cut into small pieces and placed in a heat-proof bowl
- ¾ cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tbs. unsalted butter
- 2 tbs. brandy, or Kirsch, Kahlua, rum, bourbon, etc. – use any flavor you prefer (optional)
- 2 cups coarsely chopped Snyder’s of Hanover® Pretzel sticks placed in a bowl
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment, wax paper or Silpat; set aside.
- In a small saucepan, bring cream and butter to a boil. Pour over chocolate and let sit for about 5 minutes.
- Stir thoroughly with a whisk until completely smooth. Stir in alcohol (if desired).
- Cover and refrigerate until firm. This will take a few hours.
- With a melon baller, or small spoon, scoop out an amount of chocolate that will roll into ¾” diameter balls. Roll in hands to form ball-shape.
- Immediately press into chopped pretzels and place onto prepared baking sheet. Refrigerate until completely firm – overnight works best.
