Ingredients
- Large pretzel rods
- Semisweet chocolate chips
- Coconut oil (optional, for smoother chocolate)
- Assorted toppings such as sprinkles, crushed nuts, and mini candies
Instructions
- Prep Your Area: Begin by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, mix chocolate chips with a tablespoon of coconut oil. Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
- Dip the Pretzels: Dip each pretzel rod into the chocolate, coating about three-quarters of the way up. Gently tap off any excess chocolate.
- Decorate: While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle your chosen toppings over the chocolate-covered section.
- Set to Dry: Lay the pretzels on the parchment paper and allow the chocolate to harden at room temperature. For faster setting, refrigerate for 10-15 minutes.
Notes
- For a smoother chocolate finish, ensure the coconut oil is fully integrated into the chocolate before dipping.
- If the chocolate begins to thicken, briefly reheat it in the microwave for a few seconds.
