Ingredients
  

Pretzel rods
  • 16 large pretzel rods whole and unbroken
Chocolate coating
  • 12 ounces semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips, wafers or chopped (340 g)
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil only if using chips
Drizzle and toppings
  • 4 ounces white chocolate melted (115 g)
  • 1/2 cup holiday sprinkles or crushed candy canes
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts or toffee bits optional

Method
 

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set out the toppings in shallow dishes.
  2. Melt the chocolate in 30-second bursts at 50 percent power, stirring each time, until smooth.
  3. Pour the chocolate into a tall narrow glass.
  4. Dip each pretzel rod about two thirds of the way, then tap off the extra chocolate.
  5. Roll or sprinkle with toppings right away.
  6. Place on the parchment and let set for 30 minutes at room temperature.
  7. Melt the white chocolate and drizzle in zigzag lines over the rods. Let set again.

Notes

Make ahead: Keep in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
Tip: Add coconut oil if the chocolate is too thick for dipping.
