Scale
Before you embark on making chocolate-covered pretzels, gather the necessary ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 cup pretzel rods
- 1 cup chocolate chips (milk or dark)
- 1 tbsp coconut oil (optional)
- Sprinkles or sea salt (for topping)
Instructions
Making chocolate-covered pretzels is a straightforward process that involves dipping, decorating, and chilling. Follow these steps to create your own delicious treats:
- Melt chocolate chips and coconut oil: Place the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds, then stir. Continue microwaving in 15-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.
- Dip the pretzels: Take each pretzel rod and dip it into the melted chocolate. Make sure to coat it evenly, allowing any excess chocolate to drip off.
- Arrange on a baking sheet: Place the dipped pretzels on a parchment-lined baking sheet to prevent sticking.
- Add toppings: While the chocolate is still soft, sprinkle your choice of toppings, such as colorful sprinkles or a pinch of sea salt, over the pretzels.
- Refrigerate: Once all pretzels are coated and topped, refrigerate them for 20-30 minutes. This will allow the chocolate to harden and set.
