Notes
Storage:
- To Store: These pretzel dough bites can sit at cool room temperature (between 68°F - 72°F) for up to 2 hours. For longer storage, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Keep in mind that the longer storage can lead to the pretzels getting soft.
- To Freeze: These bites can be frozen for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container. Note that the moisture from freezing and thawing may make the pretzels softer than desired.
- If you cannot find pre-portioned edible chocolate chip cookie dough, you can use the log-style package. Scoop out 24, 1-tablespoon-sized cookie dough balls, then gently roll in your palm to smooth and shape into a 1-inch thick, slightly square shape to press between the square mini pretzels.
- Choose a brand of refrigerated chocolate chip cookie dough labeled safe to eat raw, such as Pillsbury, Nestle Toll House, and Ben & Jerry’s. Ensure it uses pasteurized eggs and heat-treated flour.
- Any flavor of edible cookie dough from the refrigerated section will work.
- You can substitute milk chocolate melts with semi-sweet chocolate for a darker chocolate flavor. Chocolate almond bark or good-quality milk chocolate chips can also be used. Follow package instructions for melting your particular brand of chocolate.
- Standard mini pretzel twists will also work in this recipe. If using the mini pretzel twists, you will want to gently roll each of the pre-portioned chocolate chip cookie dough pieces to a smooth ball for more uniform chocolate dipped bites.
