Ingredients
Ingredients
- 22-24 old-fashioned pretzel rods
- 6 oz. semi-sweet, dark, or white chocolate, or candy melts (about 1 cup)
- Sprinkles (for decorating)
- Finely chopped nuts (for decorating)
- Crushed candy canes (for decorating)
- Shredded coconut (for decorating)
- Mini M&M’s, chopped mini Reese’s PB cups, or toffee bits (for decorating)
Instructions
- Prepare workstation: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to create a clean area for dipping and decorating the pretzel rods efficiently.
- Melt chocolate: Melt the chocolate using a double boiler or microwave. If using a microwave, place the chocolate in a 2-cup glass measuring cup and heat in 20-second increments, stirring after each, until smooth. Add 1 tablespoon of coconut oil if the chocolate is too thick.
- Dip pretzels: Quickly dip each pretzel rod halfway into the melted chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Add toppings: Immediately sprinkle your choice of toppings such as sprinkles, chopped nuts, crushed candy canes, shredded coconut, or mini candies over the wet chocolate coating while still on the baking sheet.
- Set chocolate: Refrigerate the baking sheet with dipped pretzels for about 20 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden, or leave them at room temperature for about 1 hour.
- Store: Once the chocolate is set, transfer the pretzels into an airtight container. Store at room temperature away from heat and direct light for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
- Use different types of chocolate such as semi-sweet, dark, or white according to your preference.
- If chocolate is too thick for dipping, adding a tablespoon of coconut oil helps achieve a smooth consistency.
- You can mix and match toppings to customize each pretzel.
- Ensure pretzels are completely dry before dipping to prevent chocolate from seizing.
- Store covered in an airtight container to keep pretzels fresh and crunchy.
