Ingredients
Scale
Pretzels
- Classic small twist pretzels (about 40 pieces)
Chocolate
- 1 cup chocolate chips or melts (white, milk, or dark chocolate)
Decorations
- Colorful Easter-themed sprinkles (1/4 cup)
- Optional toppings: chopped nuts (1/4 cup), mini candies, or mini M&Ms
Other
- Parchment paper (for lining trays)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Workspace: Lay out a sheet of parchment paper on a baking tray or large plate. Having everything ready keeps the process smooth and prevents sticking later.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the chocolate chips in 20-second intervals, stirring in between to ensure smooth melting without burning.
- Dip or Drizzle Pretzels: Dip each pretzel halfway into the melted chocolate or use a spoon to drizzle chocolate over them for a creative look. This step coats the pretzels with a perfect chocolate layer.
- Add Sprinkles and Toppings: While the chocolate is still warm and soft, sprinkle your colorful Easter-themed sprinkles or nuts on top to decorate and add texture.
- Let Them Set: Place the chocolate-coated pretzels on the parchment paper and refrigerate for about 20-30 minutes until the chocolate hardens completely.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once hardened, your Easter Chocolate Pretzels are ready to be served as a tasty snack, dessert, or festive gift!
Notes
- Use high-quality chocolate to ensure a smoother and richer flavor.
- Make sure pretzels are completely dry before dipping to prevent clumping.
- Work quickly as chocolate sets fast; add sprinkles immediately after dipping.
- If chocolate thickens during work, gently reheat in short bursts to maintain smooth consistency.
- Let chocolate set fully in the fridge before moving or packaging to avoid smudges.
