Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams unsalted mini pretzels
- 250 grams dark chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt flakes
Instructions
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the pretzels from sticking.
Place the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl along with the coconut oil.
Microwave the chocolate and coconut oil in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Dip each unsalted mini pretzel into the melted chocolate using a fork to fully coat it.
Tap the fork on the side of the bowl to remove any excess chocolate before placing the pretzel on the prepared baking sheet.
While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle a small pinch of sea salt flakes on each pretzel for a hint of salty flavor.
Continue dipping, tapping, and placing all pretzels onto the baking sheet, then allow them to rest until the chocolate has fully set. For quicker results, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes.
Once the chocolate is hardened, transfer the pretzels to an airtight container for storage or serve immediately.
