Ingredients
- 6 ounces milk chocolate chips
- 6 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
- 36 pretzel rods
- Sprinkles optional, festive
- mini chocolate chips optional
- crushed peppermint candies
- mini M&Ms
Instructions
- In a heat-proof bowl add the milk chocolate chips and semi-sweet chocolate chips. Stir to combine.
- Place the bowl over a saucepan with 1 inch of simmering water. Make sure the bottom of the bowl isn’t touching the water. Let heat while occasionally stirring to melt the chocolate chips completely.
- Once the chocolate chips are completely melted, dip the pretzels into the chocolate. Tap the wrist of the hand holding the pretzels until most of the excess chocolate has dripped off.
- Place the pretzels on a piece of parchment paper or wax paper.
- While the chocolate is still wet, coat with sprinkles or candies.
- Let the chocolate harden before transferring to an airtight container to store at room temperature.
