Ingredients for Pumpkin Spice Chocolate Covered Pretzels

• 2 cups pretzels (divided)
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (or candy coating)
• 1 cup white chocolate chips (or candy coating)
• 2 teaspoons vegetable oil (divided)
• 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice (divided)
• Orange food coloring (optional, for a festive look)

Tools You’ll Need

• Microwave-safe bowls
• Forks for dipping
• Parchment paper
• Baking sheet
• Squeeze bottles (optional for drizzling)

How to Make Pumpkin Spice Chocolate Covered Pretzels

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips with 1 teaspoon of oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully smooth. Stir in ½ teaspoon of pumpkin spice.
2. Melt the White Chocolate: In another bowl, melt the white chocolate chips with the remaining 1 teaspoon of oil, following the same method. Stir in the remaining ½ teaspoon of pumpkin spice and add a few drops of orange food coloring for that Halloween vibe.
3. Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the pretzels from sticking.
4. Dip the Pretzels: Divide the pretzels into two portions. Dip one portion into the melted semi-sweet chocolate, using a fork to coat them completely. Tap the fork on the edge of the bowl to remove excess chocolate and place the pretzels on the parchment paper.
5. Repeat with White Chocolate: Dip the remaining pretzels in the melted white chocolate. Place them on the parchment paper alongside the semi-sweet chocolate pretzels.
6. Add a Decorative Drizzle: Once the pretzels are coated, use a fork or squeeze bottle to drizzle semi-sweet chocolate over the white chocolate pretzels, and white chocolate over the semi-sweet ones. This creates a fun, decorative contrast!
7. Set the Chocolate: Let the pretzels sit at room temperature until the chocolate sets. For faster results, pop them in the fridge or freezer for a few minutes.

Tips for Making the Best Pumpkin Spice Pretzels

• Reheat Chocolate if Necessary: If the chocolate hardens as you work, just pop it back in the microwave for a few seconds to remelt.
• Customize Your Colors: For more Halloween fun, try adding green or purple food coloring to the white chocolate. You could even toss on some festive sprinkles!
• Double Dipping: For a thicker chocolate coating, you can double-dip the pretzels after the first layer has set.

What to Serve with Pumpkin Spice Chocolate Covered Pretzels

These pretzels are delicious on their own, but they also make a great addition to any Halloween spread. Pair them with:
