Ingredients
Scale
- 12 ounces melting chocolate (milk, dark, or white)
- 1 bag (about 10–12 ounces) pretzel rods or twists
- Optional: Sprinkles, chopped nuts, or other toppings
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper.
- Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth. Alternatively, use a double boiler.
- Dip each pretzel rod or twist into the melted chocolate, covering about two-thirds of the pretzel.
- Allow excess chocolate to drip off.
- Place the chocolate-covered 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 best results, use good quality melting chocolate or chocolate chips.
- Ensure the chocolate is not too hot when dipping, as it can cause the pretzels to soften.
- You can re-melt the chocolate if it starts to thicken during the dipping process.
- Get creative with toppings like crushed candy canes, toffee bits, or sea salt.
