Ingredients
Scale
- 50 miniature pretzel twists or 24 pretzel rods
- 12 ounces chocolate chips or candy melts (milk, white, dark, or a mix)
- 1 tablespoon shortening (only if using chocolate chips)
- ½ cup sprinkles (any type you love)
Instructions
- Place chocolate chips or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl. Add shortening if using chocolate chips.
- Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth and melted.
- For pretzel rods, pour chocolate into a tall glass, dip each rod halfway, tap off excess, and coat with sprinkles.
- For pretzel twists, coat each pretzel in chocolate using a fork, tap the fork on the bowl’s edge to remove extra chocolate, and use a toothpick to slide the pretzel onto parchment paper. Sprinkle immediately.
- Let pretzels set completely at room temperature before serving or storing.
Notes
- Swap sprinkles for crushed nuts, mini candies, or coconut for variety.
- Candy melts are easier to use than chocolate chips as they don’t need shortening.
- Store in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
