Instructions
1
Begin by preparing a clean workspace and gathering all your ingredients.

Melt the semi-sweet or white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl or a chocolate melter. If using a microwave, melt in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted. Keep a close eye on the chocolate to avoid burning.

Once melted, dip each pretzel into the chocolate using a fork. Ensure you coat as much of the pretzel as you desire, allowing excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.

Before the chocolate hardens, sprinkle your chosen toppings generously over the chocolate-coated pretzels. For stick pretzels, you can hold them by hand and dip them directly!

Place the decorated pretzels on a parchment-lined tray and transfer them to the refrigerator for about 10 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully set.
