Toffee Coated Pretzel Sticks are great snacks for kids–both young and old. Perfect for tea parties or the holidays. White Chocolate sprinkled with toffee.
Toffee Coated Pretzel Sticks are Delightful with a Cup of Tea
Years ago, I helped my friend, Mary Allen make these fun Toffee Coated Pretzel Sticks. We ate them with hot cups of tea, and they were so delicious.
When I returned home from my visit, I soon shared them with our family. Our daughters enjoyed them immensely. These little toffee coated gems are perfect for the holidays or a tea party–or a holiday tea party!
They are quite easy to make, although like any candy that deals with melted chocolate or almond bark, they can be messy to make.

A Few Notes
For the white coating, you may use either almond bark or white chocolate. I’ve used both, but at Christmastime, I usually have the almond bark in my pantry, and it melts so easy. Of course, premium white chocolate will taste better, but you might want to save that for special cookies or candies!
I like to use Heath Bits of Brickle, English Toffee Bits but sometimes I’m unable to find this product. Other options are crushing Heath candy bars or getting the option of toffee bits with milk chocolate on them. Use whatever supplies you have on hand.
During the holidays, I often buy tubs of pretzel rods or wands at Aldi. But you can find these tubs at Walmart or your grocery store, too. This recipe may make more than 20 pretzel sticks, but that’s a pretty close number. Plus, by the time you’ve finished 20 sticks, you’ll probably be ready to call it quits. Especially, if you’re working with young children, who tend to get very messy and who probably eat more of the topping and candy than what lands on the rods!
Instructions For Making This Recipe
Gather the ingredients so you have everything close at hand on the counter or table. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper.
Melt the White Coating
In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, heat almond bark on high 2-3 minutes until melted, stirring after every 40 seconds. Depending on the condition of your microwave, this may take more or less time. Just check it often and when the topping is smooth and creamy, it’s ready. Try not to overcook the topping.
If you opt to use white chocolate, you may follow the same directions for melting, or heat it over a double-boiler until melted.
Place the toffee bits and miniature semi-sweet chocolate chips in small bowls along with spoons for sprinkling. You may want to use a large empty bowl to catch the excess sprinkles to reduce messy waste.
Assemble the Pretzel Sticks
Dip the pretzel rods into the melted almond bark or spread the coating over the pretzel with a knife or spoon. We like to cover them 1/2 – 2/3 so that some pretzel still shows.
Then, immediately sprinkle the rods with the toffee and miniature semi-sweet chocolate chips.
This is where things start to get messy. The chunks don’t always want to stick to the topping, so do this part over a plate or bowl to catch the drippings, which you can use again.
Once you have the rod decorated, place it on the prepared baking sheet to set. Repeat until all of the rods have been decorated.
If you have extra pretzel rods and melted almond bark, you may also sprinkle with sugar sprinkles. Younger kids especially enjoy this, as it’s not quite as hard to work with as the toffee.
Allow the pretzel rods to set until no longer sticky. When completely dry, store in an air-tight container. This recipe will make at least 20 pretzel sticks.
Toffee Coated Pretzel Sicks are really quite delicious. Our daughters and grandchildren love them.
