I am back at it with the sweets you guys. I absolutely love dark chocolate [ in case you didn't notice from every chocolate recipe on TNL ]. I eat at least a square of true dark chocolate a day. I like to believe that the antioxidants outweigh the fact that it's not a vegetable. Eat all the antioxidant rich chocolate! 

[ Gluten Free ] Espresso Infused Dark Chocolate Dipped Pretzels

Prep Time: 5 min.  |  Dip Time: 10 min.  |  Set Time: 15 -20 min.  | Yields: 40 pretzels

Ingredients //

1 bag Glutino Gluten Free Pretzels Twists or pretzels of choice

2 tsp. instant espresso powder

1 bag Ghirardelli 60% Dark Chocolate baking chips [ 10 oz ]

Instructions //

Line a baking sheet with parchment and set aside.

Step 1. In a double boiler, warm chocolate until melted - about 5 minutes. Add in instant espresso powder, stirring until fully infused into chocolate.

Tip: To make your own double boiler, place a metal or heat proof glass bowl over a small pot filled with one inch of simmering water. The water should not touch the bottom of the bowl.

Step 2. Dip pretzels completely into melted chocolate - working in batches. Using a fork, or skewer, remove pretzels one at a time - shaking off excess chocolate - and place on parchment lined baking sheet. 

Step 3. Allow pretzels to set at room temperature for 15-20 minutes. Enjoy!

Tip: Sprinkle pretzels with sea salt or a touch of espresso powder - before the chocolate sets - to punch the flavor up more!
