Retro Sweet & Salty Pretzel Salad

Retro Sweet & Salty Pretzel Salad

We decided to make this in honor of National Retro Day. Cookie salad is making a comeback and we put an OMG! spin on it with fudge-striped Sweet & Salty Pretzels instead of the cookies that the recipe normally uses. The hint of cinnamon shines through. Bonus points if you serve it up in a retro bowl.

Equipment

  • Whisk, parchment paper, double boiler, sheet pan

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups milk cold
  • 2 packages instant vanilla pudding mix
  • 8 oz whipped topping thawed
  • 6 oz milk chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 can mandarin oranges drained
  • 1 bag Sweet & Salty OMG! Pretzels

Instructions
 

  • Use the milk and instant pudding mix to prepare according to box directions and chill.
  • Meanwhile, prep the “fudge-striped” Sweet & Salty OMG! Pretzels. (TIP: This step is important to help the pretzels keep their texture in the salad.) In a double boiler, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil and heat until smooth.
  • Place the OMG! Pretzels on a parchment-lined sheet pan. With a spoon, drizzle the pretzel nugget with the chocolate and place the pan in the refrigerator until the chocolate hardens, about 10 minutes.
  • While the chocolate is getting firm, combine the chilled pudding and the whipped topping in a bowl.
  • Fold in the drained mandarin oranges. Be sure to reserve a few for the topping.
  • Put 8 “fudge-striped” OMG! Sweet & Salty Pretzels aside for the top. Place the rest in a plastic bag and crush them slightly. Fold them into the pudding mixture.
  • Transfer the pretzel salad to a serving bowl and decorate the top with the reserved mandarin oranges and pretzel nuggets.
  • Chill until ready to serve.
