Scale
Ingredients
- 1 bag of pretzels (about 12 oz)
- 2 cups of chocolate chips (semisweet or milk chocolate)
- 1 cup of festive sprinkles
Instructions
- Melt the Chocolate: Place the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until completely melted and smooth.
- Dip the Pretzels: Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each pretzel into the melted chocolate ensuring it is fully coated. Allow excess chocolate to drip off.
- Place on Baking Sheet: Arrange the chocolate-covered pretzels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
- Sprinkle Decoration: Immediately sprinkle the chocolate-covered pretzels with festive sprinkles before the chocolate sets to ensure they adhere properly.
- Cool and Set: Let the pretzels cool completely at room temperature or place them in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes until the chocolate hardens.
- Serve or Package: Once set, enjoy the treats right away or package them as charming holiday gifts.
Notes
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor and smooth coating.
- To avoid chocolate clumping, ensure pretzels are dry before dipping.
- For quicker setting, refrigerate the dipped pretzels for 10-15 minutes.
- Experiment with different types of sprinkles or even add crushed candy canes for extra holiday flair.
- Store the finished pretzels in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
