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 the oil using a double boiler or the microwave. If using the microwave, combine chocolate and oil in a medium heat-proof bowl. Heat for 20-second increments, stirring each time, until smooth.
- Dip each pretzel into the melted chocolate. Lift it out with a fork, tapping the fork on the bowl to remove excess chocolate, and use a toothpick to slide the pretzel onto the baking sheet.
- If desired, add sprinkles while the chocolate is still wet. Reheat leftover chocolate if needed and drizzle over the pretzels using a squeeze bottle.
- Refrigerate the pretzels for 20–30 minutes until chocolate is set. Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or refrigerate for up to two weeks.
Notes
Make sure the chocolate is finely chopped to ensure even melting.
Using a glass measuring cup for melting chocolate makes it easier to dip pretzels.
