Instructions
Prepare Chocolate:
- Melt the white and milk chocolate separately in microwave-safe bowls in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
Dip Pretzel Rods:
- Dip half of each pretzel rod into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off. Use a spoon to help coat evenly if needed.
Decorate:
- Place dipped pretzels on wax paper and immediately add sprinkles, peppermint, or toppings while the chocolate is still wet.
Chill to Set:
- Let the pretzel rods set at room temperature or chill in the fridge for 15 minutes until chocolate is firm.

- Flavor Tip: Add a drop of peppermint or vanilla extract to the melted chocolate for extra flavor.
- Gifting Idea: Wrap each pretzel in cellophane and tie with ribbon for festive gifts.
