Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups pretzels
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cups white chocolate chips (optional, for drizzling)
- 0.25 cups sprinkles (optional)
- 1 teaspoons coconut oil (optional, for smoother chocolate)
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using). Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly after each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat.
Using tongs or a fork, dip each pretzel into the melted chocolate, ensuring it's well coated. Tap off any excess chocolate and place the coated pretzel onto the prepared baking sheet.
If desired, melt the white chocolate chips in a similar manner and use a spoon to drizzle over the chocolate-covered pretzels for a decorative touch.
While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle with optional sprinkles if you'd like to add a pop of color.
Let the pretzels sit at room temperature until the chocolate is fully set, or place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to speed up the process.
Once the chocolate has hardened, transfer the pretzels to an airtight container for storage. Enjoy!
