FAQs
Make Ahead and Storage:
Can I make these Turkey Pretzels ahead of time?
Yes! You can easily make these a day in advance and have them ready to go for your holiday celebration
Because you are heating up chocolate and then allowing it to cool down, after a couple of days, you might see sugar bloom start to set in. That is why I would only suggest making these a day in advance or the morning of your party or event.
What is Sugar Bloom?
Sugar bloom occurs when chocolate is warmed up and melted then cools off. The sugar separates from the oils during the melting phase and then when the chocolate cools back up the sugar solidifies and shows on the surface as white crystals
Is it Safe to Eat Chocolate that has had a Sugar Bloom?
Yes. It is perfectly safe to eat chocolate with sugar bloom
