It is no secret I love a sweet and salty combo. With it being summer and s’mores the popular snack of the moment, I thought it would be fun to make a salty version using pretzels.
I’m a big fan of pretzels, and use them often when I’m making treats. These are easy to make and really tasty. All you need is pretzels, marshmallows, chocolate bars for inside the s’more and melting chocolate for the outside if you want to cover your s’more in chocolate (I pretty much want to cover everything in chocolate). Add some optional sprinkles, and you are good to go!
I used jumbo marshmallows and cut them to a more manageable size. Sit the marshmallows on your pretzel, add some chocolate (I used a dark chocolate candy bar) and then microwave for a few seconds. I’m sure you could also do this in the oven, but with a 15 month old at my feet, I’m all about the quickest option possible. The marshmallows PUFF UP in the microwave, so do not walk away – mine took less than ten seconds. Pull them out, add the second pretzel and let set up. You could easily call it good at this point.
I decided to dip mine in Wilton’s Chocolate Melts (the light/milk chocolate). I found that putting the s’mores in the freezer for a few minutes made them more manageable when dipping. That’s it – another quick and easy treat that is sure to please and would be so fun for a summer get together.
And on the inside…
That’s some good stuff.

I just made these, I picked unsalted mini pretzels and these were easy. I feel you could make these with a little child learning to cook. I made these for a party later today so I will let you know how they liked it. Super easy snack!

These look great! I make cake balls for teacher gifts for the yearly teacher appreciation day at my daughter’s school. I think I’ll make these as well!
I think they would also be great for a party. An easy and impressive food item to bring.

These look yummy! Have you tried this combo: squish a junior mint between 2 small pretzels and dip in chocolate. One of my favorite!

I love this idea. Im curious about making them in advance and storing? Any thoughts?? Would making them ahead of time and keeping them in the fridge be ok? This is something Id like to make for possible Xmas goodies and am wanting to get a headstart on some stuff…if these could be made and froze that would be awesome. Can someone please let me know if they’ve done this?!?!
Thanks!

Another way to make a sweet and salty smore is to simply use a Reese’s cup instead of a piece of Hershey’s chocolate when you’re hanging around the campfire.
