Ingredients
Scale
- 8 ounces (226g) semi-sweet or white chocolate (two 4-ounce bars), finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil or coconut oil
- 4 cups pretzels
- optional: sprinkles for topping
Instructions
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Melt the chocolate with vegetable oil using a double boiler or in the microwave. For microwave use, place chocolate and oil in a medium heat-proof bowl, microwave for 20-second increments, stirring each time until melted and smooth.
- Dip each pretzel into the melted chocolate, lift it with a fork, then tap to remove excess. Use a toothpick to transfer the pretzel onto the lined baking sheet and add sprinkles if desired while the chocolate is still wet.
- Refrigerate the pretzels for 20-30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set. Once set, store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
Notes
For a fun twist, mix different colored sprinkles to match any occasion.
Make sure the chocolate is completely melted for a smooth coating on the pretzels.
