Ingredients
- Pretzel Rods: 12 large pretzel rods
- Chocolate Coating: 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- White Chocolate Drizzle: 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- Sprinkles: 1/2 cup assorted holiday-themed sprinkles
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth (about 1-2 minutes total).
- Dip each pretzel rod into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated, then gently shake off excess chocolate.
- Place the coated pretzel rods on the prepared baking sheet.
- While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle the holiday sprinkles generously over the pretzel rods.
- In a separate bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in the same manner as the semi-sweet chocolate.
- Using a fork, drizzle the melted white chocolate over the pretzel rods for a decorative touch.
- Refrigerate the pretzel rods for about 30 minutes or until the chocolate is set.
Notes
- Make-ahead: These pretzel rods can be made up to a week in advance and stored in an airtight container.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place to prevent melting.
- Substitutions: Use dark chocolate or milk chocolate for different flavor profiles.
