Chocolate Covered Pretzels Sprinkles (Printable View)

Salty pretzels coated in melted chocolate and decorated with vibrant sprinkles for a crunchy, sweet snack.

# What You Need:

→ Pretzels

01 - 24 pretzel rods or 48 mini pretzels

→ Chocolate Coating

02 - 7 oz semisweet or milk chocolate, chopped (or chocolate chips)
03 - 1 tsp coconut oil or vegetable shortening (optional, for smoother coating)

→ Decoration

04 - 1/4 cup assorted sprinkles

# How-To Steps:

01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper to prevent sticking.
02 - Place the chopped chocolate and coconut oil (if using) in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth. Alternatively, melt chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (double boiler).
03 - Dip each pretzel rod or mini pretzel into the melted chocolate, covering it about two-thirds of the way. Gently shake off excess chocolate.
04 - Immediately sprinkle with assorted sprinkles while the chocolate is still wet to ensure adherence.
05 - Place the chocolate-covered pretzels on the prepared baking sheet.
06 - Let pretzels set at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or refrigerate for 10–15 minutes, until chocolate is firm.
07 - Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • The salty sweet combination hits every craving button at once making these completely addictive
  • They come together in under 20 minutes but look like you spent hours on them
  • Perfect for customizing with whatever sprinkles or toppings you have on hand
02 -
  • Even a tiny drop of water will seize your chocolate into a grainy hopeless mess so keep everything absolutely dry
  • Work in small batches because once the chocolate starts cooling it gets thick and harder to work with
  • Pretzels absorb moisture from the air so eat them within a week for that perfect crunch
03 -
  • Hold the dipped pretzel over the bowl for a good 5 to 10 seconds letting the excess drip off before adding sprinkles
  • If chocolate starts getting too thick return it to the microwave for just 10 seconds
