FAQs
Can I use regular pretzels instead of chocolate-covered ones?
Yes, regular pretzels work fine and add a nice salty crunch. You can dip them in melted chocolate beforehand if you want to keep the chocolate-covered look.
What if I don’t have royal icing or melted chocolate for assembling?
You can use thick peanut butter or cream cheese as a substitute adhesive, but chocolate or royal icing provides the best hold and taste.
