Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz pretzel rods
- 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp coconut oil (optional, for smoothness)
- 1/2 cup sprinkles (optional, for decoration)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth (about 1-2 minutes total).
- Dip each pretzel rod into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow excess chocolate to drip off.
- Place the coated pretzels on the prepared baking sheet.
- If using sprinkles, immediately sprinkle them over the chocolate before it sets.
- Once all pretzels are coated, refrigerate for 30 minutes or until the chocolate is firm.
- Serve and enjoy your delicious treats!
Notes
- Make-ahead: These pretzels can be made up to a week in advance and stored in an airtight container.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place to prevent melting.
- Substitutions: Use white chocolate or dark chocolate for different flavor profiles.
