Chocolate Covered Pretzels Pastel (Printable)

Crispy pretzels dipped in smooth chocolate with colorful sprinkles for a festive, easy snack.

# What You'll Need:

→ Pretzels

01 - 24 mini pretzel twists

→ Chocolate

02 - 7 oz good-quality milk or white chocolate, chopped

→ Topping

03 - 3 tbsp pastel-colored sprinkles

# Directions:

01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to create a clean surface for dipped pretzels.
02 - Place chopped chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each interval, until completely smooth and glossy. Alternatively, melt using a double boiler over gently simmering water.
03 - Hold each pretzel twist and dip halfway into the melted chocolate. Lift and gently shake to allow excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.
04 - Immediately place the dipped pretzel on the prepared baking sheet and generously sprinkle pastel-colored sprinkles over the wet chocolate before it begins to set.
05 - Repeat the dipping and sprinkling process with all remaining pretzels, working efficiently to ensure chocolate stays fluid.
06 - Allow the chocolate to set completely at room temperature for 30 to 45 minutes. For faster results, refrigerate for approximately 15 minutes until firm.
07 - Transfer cooled pretzels to an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to 1 week. Layer with parchment paper if stacking to prevent sticking.
