Ingredients

  • 24 pretzel rods
  • 8 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
  • 8 ounces white chocolate, chopped
  • Assorted toppings (crushed cookies, nuts, sprinkles, etc.)

Directions

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until melted and smooth.
  3. Dip each pretzel rod into the melted dark chocolate, coating about three-fourths of the rod. Use a spoon to help coat the pretzel evenly.
  4. Place the coated pretzel rods onto the prepared baking sheet and refrigerate for about 10 minutes until the chocolate is set.
  5. In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate in the microwave following the same process as before.
  6. Remove the pretzel rods from the refrigerator and dip the remaining one-fourth of the rods into the melted white chocolate, creating a two-tone effect.
  7. While the white chocolate is still melted, sprinkle your desired toppings onto the pretzel rods, pressing them gently to adhere.
  8. Place the pretzel rods back onto the baking sheet and refrigerate for another 10 minutes until the chocolate is set.
  9. Once the chocolate is completely set, transfer the gourmet pretzel rods to an airtight container or wrap them individually in cellophane bags for gifting.
  10. Enjoy these delicious gourmet pretzel rods as a snack or serve them at your next party!
