Description
Chocolate-Dipped Pretzel Rods are a delightful blend of sweet and salty, transforming a simple snack into a party treat in just five minutes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 10–12 pieces Thick Pretzel Rods
- 1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips (or substitute with milk or dark chocolate)
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable Oil (helps chocolate melt smoothly)
- to taste Decorative Toppings (e.g., sprinkles, crushed nuts, coconut flakes)
Instructions
- Melt the Chocolate: Place semi-sweet chocolate chips and vegetable oil into a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second bursts, stirring between each, until the chocolate is melted and glossy.
- Dip the Pretzels: Dip one end of a pretzel rod into the melted chocolate, swirling gently to coat about half. Allow excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.
- Add Toppings: While chocolate is still warm, sprinkle your chosen toppings over the coated section.
- Cool Them Down: Lay the dipped rods on a parchment-lined baking sheet and allow to cool at room temperature or in the fridge for 10 minutes.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once chocolate has set, serve immediately or store in an airtight container.
