Wedding Chocolate Favors

For chocaholics, homemade wedding chocolate favors are the perfect gift for wedding guests.

I am including several recipes for delicious favors including chocolate. The first is a recipe for coating 8" pretzel sticks with chocolate. Put two or three of these in a plastic bag. Tie with a pretty ribbon with a tag that gives the name of the bride and groom and you have a perfect favor for your guests.

Chocolate Dipped Pretzels

You will need:

2 1/2 packages (8 ounces each) of semisweet chocolate squares

12 (8" long) baked pretzel sticks

You can serve these coated with chocolate alone or you can add toppings such as chopped toasted nuts, sprinkles, coconut flakes, mini-peanut butter pieces.

Break the pieces of chocolate into individual squares and place in either a large glass bowl or a 4 cup glass measuring cup. Cover with waxed paper and place in microwave. Cook on high for 2 to 3 minutes, until almost melted, stirring occasionally until smooth.

Place each topping you will use on a sheet of waxed paper. Hold 1 pretzel stick at a time over the melted chocolate and spoon chocolate over pretzel, coating it but leave about 2" uncoated at the top of the pretzel. Immediately sprinkle coated pretzel with your choice of toppings. Carefully place coated stick in a pie plate, leaning the uncoated top part on the edge of the plate. Refrigerate them for 15 minutes to set the coating.

Now apply a second coating of melted chocolate and topping to each pretzel, repeating the above directions. Refrigerate for another 15 minutes to set the coating.

Store pretzel sticks in a tightly covered container with waxed paper between layers at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Yum!

Homemade Wedding Chocolate Favors

Wilton makes an assortment of candy-making molds and chocolates for you to make great favors. They are available in craft stores like Michael's. That is where I bought mine. Choose the mold you want for your favors. They have a lot of hearts, bride and grooms, teddy bears, lollipop molds, etc.

If you just want plain chocolates, that is fine, just buy a mold in the shape you want. Choose the colors of chocolate that you want from the great selection that Wilton has. They are called candy melts.

Do not grease the molds. Melt candy melts in the microwave per directions on package. Pour into molds. If you are using lollipop molds, put the sticks in the molds. Make sure you rotate the sticks to cover with candy so they will stay in place. Refrigerate the molds until the candy is hard. Then tap them out of the molds. Put a few in each guest bag and tie.

Martha Stewart has some beautiful new bags and boxes for wedding favors in her collection of craft supplies at Michael's. I have used them and they are beautiful and really nice to use.
