There are few things in life that are better than a chocolate covered pretzel. Sweet and salty… you get it. Need we say more?
Salted Pretzel Hot Chocolate Makes 1 cup
1/4 Cup Pretzel Sticks (apx 1/2 oz) 1/2 Cup Heavy Cream 1/2 Cup Whole Milk 1 Oz Bittersweet Chocolate Chips (apx 1/4 Cup)--use the good stuff, it's worth it 1 1/2 Tablespoons Cocoa Powder 1 Tablespoon Granulated Sugar
In a small saucepan heat the pretzel sticks, heavy cream and whole milk on medium heat until simmering. Turn off heat and let it sit for 6-8 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine the chocolate, cocoa powder and sugar in a mixing bowl.
Return dairy to a simmer and pour over chocolate, whisking until fully combined and the chocolate is melted.
Strain pretzels from hot chocolate and serve.
