It's so odd that the coating just would not stay on the rods and then trying to dip with the weight of the chips and nuts...everything just slid off.. I was using lg rods - kinda look like the old school 1st grade fat pencils. They had corse salt on them. I feel like such an idiot that this will not work out for me. I consider myself an excellent baker and even make birthday and wedding cakes for friends. I should have been able to do this.The kids were so disappointed. I am going to try it again.

The only thing I can think of is that the type of pretzels you were using were too smooth and slippery? I wish I had more advice, but I never dealt with that issue before. I have asked around for 2 weeks now and none of my friends have any idea either. Sorry I can't be of more assistance! @Cathy, Hi Cathy.

I've tried several times and nothing sticks onto the pretzels! I bought some Log House brand Candiquick - candy coating since I've used it before to dip oreos and it's easy to work with. Nothing would stick on my prezel rods. Everything just slid off. BIG MESS! I tried so many things...I let most drip off, let less drip off, tried to let harden a bit, sit in refrig to start to harden and then try to roll in toppings, also tried to just sprinkle toppings while laying on cookie sheet since I was willing to take only having topping on one side as better than none but to no success. I eneded up with plain dipped rods - flat on one side from laying them on the cookie sheet. Not at all pretty or having coating all around like yours. The flat side didn't even have choc covering as you could see the pretzel showing through on the flat sides. Any ideas that could help me out?

I have made these before for my daughter and her roommates at college but have never sold them. I would love to sale some at the benefit. Do you mind telling me how much you sold these for. You did a great job. Thank you so much.
