Take note
Make sure to handle hot baking sheets and melted ice cream with caution to avoid any burns. Also, be prepared for some serious cravings after making these pretzel ice cream sandwiches!

1

Preheat the oven and prepare the pretzels

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. While the oven is heating up, grab your pretzels of choice. You can use store-bought pretzels or go the extra mile and make homemade pretzels if you're feeling adventurous!

2

Melt the chocolate

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt your favorite chocolate. You can use milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or even white chocolate for a twist! Pop the bowl in the microwave and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.

3

Dip the pretzels in chocolate

Take each pretzel and dip it into the melted chocolate, making sure to coat both sides. Use a fork to gently lift the pretzel out of the chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off. Place the chocolate-coated pretzels on the prepared baking sheet.

4

Freeze the chocolate-coated pretzels

Pop the baking sheet into the freezer and let the chocolate coating set for about 10 minutes. This will help the pretzels hold their shape when you assemble the ice cream sandwiches.

5

Choose your ice cream flavor

While you're waiting for the chocolate-coated pretzels to chill, decide on the ice cream flavor that will take your pretzel sandwiches to the next level. Classic vanilla, indulgent chocolate, or perhaps a fruity sorbet? The choice is yours!

6

Scoop and sandwich the ice cream

Remove the chocolate-coated pretzels from the freezer. Grab a scoop of your chosen ice cream flavor and place it on one pretzel. Take another pretzel and gently press it on top, creating a delicious pretzel ice cream sandwich!

7

Freeze and enjoy

Once you've assembled all your pretzel ice cream sandwiches, place them in the freezer to firm up. Allow them to freeze for at least 1 hour, or until the ice cream is solid. Then, dig in and enjoy the perfect balance of sweet and salty!
