FAQs

Can I use regular pretzels instead of chocolate-covered ones?

Yes, regular pretzels will work and add a nice salty crunch, but chocolate-covered pretzels blend better with the sweet flavors and enhance the overall appearance.

How do I prevent the candy coating from cracking?

Make sure to melt the candy coating gently and avoid overheating. Allow the coated race cars to set at room temperature rather than chilling them in the fridge to prevent cracking.
