Ingredients
- 12 pretzel rods
- 1 cup chocolate chips (milk, dark, or white chocolate)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother chocolate)
- 1/2 cup sprinkles, crushed nuts, or other toppings (optional)
Instructions
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using). Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
- Dip the Pretzel Rods: Hold each pretzel rod by one end and dip it into the melted chocolate, covering about 2/3 of the rod. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off.
- Add Toppings: While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle your choice of toppings over the chocolate-covered section of the pretzel rod.
- Set the Pretzel Rods: Place the dipped pretzel rods on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat the process with the remaining pretzel rods.
- Chill: Refrigerate the pretzel rods for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate has fully set.
- Serve: Once set, serve the chocolate covered pretzel rods as a delicious snack or package them as gifts.
