Jump to RecipeBefore you start, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment ready. You'll need a microwave-safe bowl, a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and a spatula for spreading the chocolate.
Start by breaking the dark or milk chocolate into small pieces and placing them in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Repeat the process with the white chocolate.
Dip the pretzel rods into the melted chocolate, leaving about an inch at the end for holding. Use a spatula to evenly coat the pretzel with chocolate. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing the pretzel on the lined baking sheet.
Before the chocolate hardens, sprinkle the Valentine's Day themed sprinkles over the chocolate-covered pretzels. You can also drizzle the opposite chocolate over the pretzels for a more decorative look.
Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to allow the chocolate to set. Once hardened, remove the pretzels from the sheet and place them in a festive container for gifting or enjoying.
These chocolate covered pretzels are not only delicious but also versatile. You can use different types of chocolate and sprinkles to suit your taste and occasion. They also make for a fun and easy activity to do with your significant other or kids on Valentine's Day.
