Slow Cooker Chocolate Covered Pretzels at the Table

Our Slow Cooker Chocolate Covered Pretzels are not your average treat! We’re talking about pretzels coated in melted sweetness, with layers of caramel and multiple kinds of chocolate. It’s so simple to make, you can get the kids involved in the fun, too!

What do Slow Cooker Chocolate Covered Pretzels taste like

With a delightful crunch and a hint of salt from the pretzels, this recipe is just plain tasty. We love the way the dark chocolate, milk chocolate, and caramel ball flavors combine when melted to make one ooey-gooey, sweet concoction.

But that’s not all! Then, we sprinkle the toffee on top — that adds another tasty crunch and an extra bit of sweetness to the mix! All in all, these pretzels taste super sweet with just a hint of salt to balance them.

What equipment do you need for Slow Cooker Chocolate Covered Pretzels?

As you might have guessed from the name, we’re using a slow cooker to melt the chocolate for these pretzels! Slow cookers use less heat over longer periods of time, and that makes them a great choice for melting chocolate. But if you don’t have one of these handy pieces of kitchen equipment, you can still do this!

Without a slow cooker, you’ll just want to use a double boiler on the stovetop. That means you’ll heat up a small amount of water in one pot, and once it’s boiling place a heat-resistant bowl or pot on top in which you’ll put the chocolate and caramel. Stir regularly until fully melted!

How to make Slow Cooker Chocolate Covered Pretzels

Place dark chocolate bark, white chocolate bark, and caramel bits in a slow cooker.
Set on low for 1-2 hours or just until melted. Stir together.
Add mini pretzels and mix together until all pretzels are evenly coated.
Scoop out small portions of covered pretzels, and place them on a lined baking sheet.
Top with toffee bits, then place in the refrigerator for up to one hour to harden.
Serve and enjoy!

How to store Slow Cooker Chocolate Covered Pretzels leftovers

There are a few ways to store leftovers of these pretzel clusters! If you plan to eat them soon, you can put them in an airtight container on the counter or in the fridge for up to three days.

If you need them to last longer, place them in sealed Ziploc bags in the freezer where they’ll stay fresh for up to 3 months. Simply place them on the counter or in the fridge to thaw.

Common Questions about Slow Cooker Chocolate Covered Pretzels

What toppings can I add to my slow cooker chocolate covered pretzels?

We love toffee bits but crushed nuts, colorful sprinkles, shredded coconut, crushed candy canes, mini M&Ms, or even a drizzle of white chocolate are all great upgrades! Just make sure to add your decorations while the chocolate is still wet so they stick.

Why did my chocolate get too thick in the slow cooker?

Chocolate can thicken up if it’s been hanging out in the warm slow cooker too long. Just stir in a teaspoon of neutral oil (like vegetable or coconut) to thin it out.

How do you prevent the chocolate from seizing in the slow cooker?

Keep everything bone dry! Water is chocolate’s worst enemy — even tiny droplets will turn your smooth chocolate into a grainy mess in seconds. Make sure your slow cooker, utensils, and even your hands are completely dry.

What’s the finest chocolate to use for slow cooker chocolate covered pretzels?

We like using melting wafers but you can use any variety that you like! Semi-sweet, milk, or dark all work amazingly well –pick your go-to or mix them for your own custom blend!
