Can you freeze chocolate covered pretzels?

I want to know if I can freeze chocolate covered pretzels and pretzels with a rolo and pecan melted on top?

You can freeze chocolate covered pretzels, but I don't think you will like the results.


This is especially true if the pretzel is not completely covered in chocolate. The moisture from the freezer may cause the pretzels to taste a bit stale if they absorb the moisture.


You really don't need to freeze pretzels covered in chocolate. They have a pretty long shelf life. Just keep them in an airtight container, a cookie tin, a glass jar, etc.


Even pretzels with the Rollo and pecan melted on top should stay fresh for a couple of months.


If you really feel you need to freeze them, wrap them very well to minimize the amount of moisture that can get into the package/container. Also, when you thaw them, leave them well wrapped until they are completely back to room temperature.


My mom refrigerated chocolate covered pretzels in the past that I sent to her. I visited her a few months later and she still had some left (how she managed THAT I'll never know!). :-)


Anyway, they were still delicious, but just not as 'fresh' tasting as I think they would have been if she had left them out (but it was summer and she didn't want them to melt).


Hope that helps!
