Ingredients
Scale
- Sturdy, long pretzel rods
- High-quality melting chocolate or chocolate chips (dark, milk, or white)
- 1–2 teaspoons coconut oil (optional)
- Festive or themed sprinkles
- Crushed candies (peppermint candies, toffee pieces, or cookie crumbs)
- Contrasting chocolate for drizzle
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set up toppings in small bowls.
- Place chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and melted. Stir in 1-2 teaspoons of coconut oil if desired.
- Hold a pretzel rod at one end and dip the other end into the melted chocolate, covering about 2/3 of the rod. Use a spoon to coat evenly if needed.
- Immediately sprinkle toppings onto the chocolate before it sets. Add sprinkles, crushed candies, or drizzle contrasting chocolate over the top.
- Lay the decorated pretzel rods on the parchment-lined baking sheet and let them cool. Refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to speed up the setting process.
- Once the chocolate is fully set, arrange the pretzel rods in a decorative jar or platter for serving.
Notes
Use high-quality chocolate for smoother results. Work quickly to decorate before the chocolate sets. Experiment with various toppings for unique flavors and designs.
