Chocolate-Covered Pretzels

Warm, crunchy, and nostalgic, these Chocolate-Covered Pretzels are simple sweet and salty treats perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces semi-sweet or white chocolate, finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil or coconut oil
  • 4 cups pretzels
  • Optional: sprinkles for topping

Instructions

  1. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
  2. Melt the chocolate with the oil using a double boiler or microwave, stirring until smooth.
  3. Dip a pretzel into the melted chocolate, lift it out with a fork and tap to let excess chocolate drip off.
  4. Top with sprinkles while the chocolate is wet if desired.
  5. Refrigerate for about 20 to 30 minutes to set the chocolate.
  6. Store finished pretzels in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

Chop the chocolate finely for an even melt. Keep the chocolate warm and fluid while you work, and use a fork with wide tines to help shake off excess chocolate cleanly.
