Ingredients
- 20 pieces Pretzel rods
- 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup White chocolate chips
- 2 teaspoons Vegetable oil
- 0.5 cups Sprinkles or crushed nuts (optional)
- 1 sheet Wax paper
Directions
Step 1
Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with a sheet of wax paper.
Step 2
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips with 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Step 3
In a separate bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in the same manner with 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil, stirring until smooth. Set aside for later use.
Step 4
Hold a pretzel rod by one end and dip it into the melted semi-sweet chocolate, covering about two-thirds of the pretzel. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off.
Step 5
Place the dipped pretzel rod onto the prepared wax paper. If desired, immediately sprinkle the chocolate-covered area with sprinkles or crushed nuts before the chocolate hardens.
Step 6
For a decorative drizzle, use a spoon or piping bag to drizzle melted white chocolate over the semi-sweet chocolate-dipped rods.
Step 7
Repeat the dipping and decorating process with the remaining pretzel rods.
Step 8
Allow the pretzel rods to cool and harden completely at room temperature, or place them in the refrigerator for faster setting.
Step 9
Once set, store the chocolate-dipped pretzel rods in an airtight container for up to one week.
