My grandmother used to make chocolate-covered pretzels every Christmas. They weren't fancy, but they were always the first thing to disappear from the dessert table. This recipe is my modern take on that classic treat, simplifying the process without sacrificing any of the delicious nostalgia. It's a taste of childhood comfort, made easier for today's busy lives.
Ingredients
- 1 bag (10-12 ounces) pretzel rods or mini pretzels
- 12 ounces melting chocolate (dark, milk, or white – your preference!)
- Optional toppings: sprinkles, chopped nuts, sea salt, shredded coconut
Step-by-Step Instructions for Making the Recipe
- Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Be careful not to overheat!
- Dip the pretzels: Dip each pretzel rod or mini pretzel into the melted chocolate, ensuring it's fully coated. Lift and let any excess chocolate drip off.
- Add toppings (optional): Immediately sprinkle with your desired toppings while the chocolate is still wet.
- Set the chocolate: Place the dipped pretzels on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate is firm.
- Enjoy: Remove from the refrigerator and serve! Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
