Ingredients
 

  • 16 ounces white chocolate baking bars or candy melts
  • 16 ounces semi sweet chocolate
  • 2 Tablespoons shortening
  • 4 ounces pretzel twists or about 36 rods
  • Sprinkles, shredded coconut, nuts, or other decorations of choice

Instructions

  • Melt each of the chocolates along with 1 Tablespoon of shortening in a microwave safe bowl (for the twists) or tall glass (for the rods), microwaving and stirring in 30 second intervals until smooth.

For the pretzel twists:

  • Place a pretzel in the bowl of melted chocolate, flipping it over to coat both sides.
  • Tap the fork on the side of the bowl to encourage any excess chocolate to drip off.
  • If there is chocolate in the holes, use another skewer or toothpick to poke through the hole.
  • Slip the pretzel off of the fork (or chopstick) and onto a parchment lined baking sheet.
  • Sprinkle with toppings immediately or allow to dry before decorating with additional chocolate.

For the pretzel rods:

  • Dip the end of the rod into the jar of chocolate and spin, then gently scrape it off the side to get rid of excess chocolate.
  • Place on a parchment lined baking sheet and sprinkle or allow to dry before adding any additional chocolate.
  • If you'd like to make smaller rods, simply break them in half and dip the broken end in the chocolate.

Notes

  • This amount of chocolate will make enough to dip and decorate the pretzels with chocolate. If you're not planning to decorate with chocolate, you can use less or use just one kind.
  • If your chocolate gets stiff or difficult to dip, place back in the microwave for another 10-20 seconds.
  • Dipped pretzels should be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
