Ingredients
Scale
- 12 ounces pretzels (rods or twists)
- 12 ounces chocolate chips (milk, dark, or white)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother dipping)
- Sprinkles, chopped nuts, or other toppings (optional)
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper.
- Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth. Alternatively, use a double boiler.
- If using, stir in the coconut oil until fully incorporated.
- Dip each pretzel into the melted chocolate, covering about two-thirds of the pretzel. Allow excess chocolate to drip off.
- Place the dipped pretzels on the prepared baking sheet.
- If using toppings, sprinkle them over the chocolate before it sets.
- Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate is firm.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
Notes
- For a thinner chocolate coating, add a little more coconut oil.
