Ingredients

If you love salty, crunchy pretzels and sweet, creamy chocolate, then this is the perfect snack for you! This recipe for Chocolate Dipped Pretzel Rods is super simple and only requires a few ingredients. You will need:

1 package (16 oz) of pretzel rods (about 16 pretzels)
2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
Sprinkles or chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions

The first step is to line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the pretzel rods on the parchment paper and set aside. Next, in a microwave-safe bowl, add the chocolate chips and vegetable oil. Heat the chocolate in the microwave on 50% power for 1 minute. Remove the bowl from the microwave and stir the chocolate. Heat the chocolate in the microwave for an additional 30 seconds on 50% power and stir again. Continue to heat the chocolate in the microwave for 20 second intervals, stirring in between each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.

Once the chocolate is melted, begin to dip the pretzel rods into the chocolate. You can use a spoon to help you fully coat the pretzel. Place the dipped pretzels onto the parchment paper. If desired, you can add sprinkles or chopped nuts to the wet chocolate before the chocolate sets. Once all of the pretzels are dipped and decorated, place the baking sheet into the refrigerator for 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to fully set.

After 30 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the refrigerator and enjoy! You can store the pretzel rods in an airtight container at room temperature. The pretzels should remain fresh for up to one week.
