Chocolate Covered Pretzels Sprinkles (Printable View)

Crunchy pretzels dipped in rich chocolate and topped with colorful sprinkles for a fun treat.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Pretzels

01 - 30 mini pretzel twists or rods

→ Chocolate Coating

02 - 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
03 - 1 teaspoon coconut oil or vegetable shortening (optional)

→ Decorations

04 - 3 tablespoons festive sprinkles (red, green, white, or any preferred colors)

# Cooking Steps:

01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
02 - In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and fully melted.
03 - Dip each pretzel halfway into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.
04 - Place the dipped pretzels on the prepared baking sheet.
05 - Immediately sprinkle festive decorations over the chocolate-coated portion before it sets.
06 - Allow pretzels to set at room temperature until firm, approximately 20 to 30 minutes, or refrigerate for faster cooling.
07 - Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • They take barely 20 minutes from start to finish, leaving you plenty of time to wrap them as gifts or sneak a few before anyone notices.
  • No baking required—just melted chocolate and a microwave, which means even a chaotic kitchen can pull these off.
  • The combination of salty pretzel and rich chocolate hits that craving sweet and savory people secretly have all winter long.
02 -
  • Timing is everything with the sprinkles—if you wait even a minute after dipping, the chocolate film sets and your sprinkles won't stick, so have them ready before you start.
  • Coconut oil makes a noticeable difference in how smoothly the chocolate coats, but if you don't have it, a tiny bit of vegetable oil works fine too.
03 -
  • If your chocolate cools down and starts to thicken mid-dipping, just give it another 15 seconds in the microwave rather than forcing thick chocolate onto the pretzels.
  • The secret to these looking bakery-quality is making sure your baking sheet is level and your sprinkles go on while the chocolate is still wet—that's genuinely the whole trick.
