Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 pieces Pretzel rods
- 8 ounces High-quality dark chocolate
- 4 ounces High-quality white chocolate
- 1 cup Assorted sprinkles
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional)
- 0.5 cup Mini chocolate chips (optional)
- 0.5 cup Crushed candy canes (optional)
- 1 teaspoons Vegetable oil (if needed for thinning chocolate)
- 1 sheet Wax paper or parchment paper
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with wax paper or parchment paper and set aside.
Melt the dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-30 second intervals, stirring between each interval, until smooth and fully melted. Add a teaspoon of vegetable oil if the chocolate needs thinning.
Pour the melted dark chocolate into a tall glass to make dipping easier.
Dip each pretzel rod about two-thirds of the way into the chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off back into the glass.
Place the dipped pretzel rod onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining pretzel rods.
While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle your desired toppings (sprinkles, chopped nuts, mini chocolate chips, or crushed candy canes) over the chocolate-coated section of the pretzel rod.
Melt the white chocolate in a separate bowl using the same method as the dark chocolate. Once melted, use a spoon or piping bag to drizzle the white chocolate over the dipped pretzel rods for a decorative finish.
Allow the pretzel rods to set completely at room temperature or place them in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to speed up the process.
Once the chocolate has hardened, carefully remove the pretzel rods from the wax paper and transfer them to an airtight container for storage.
