Ingredients
24 mini pretzel twists (or pretzel rods)
8 oz (225g) semi-sweet or milk chocolate, chopped
1 tsp coconut oil or vegetable shortening (optional, for shine)
Sea salt flakes or sprinkles for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
Melt the chocolate: Place chopped chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring after each, until smooth. Alternatively, melt in a double boiler. If using, stir in coconut oil until glossy.
Dip each pretzel halfway into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off. Place on prepared baking sheet.
While chocolate is still wet, sprinkle with sea salt or decorations if desired.
Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes until chocolate is set. Serve at room temperature.
Tips
Use high-quality chocolate for best flavor.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
For a festive touch, use white, dark, or colored candy melts.
