    ingredients for chocolate covered pretzels
  • In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate in the microwave on high. Start with 1 minute in the microwave, then remove the bowl and stir the chocolate well. If the chocolate still isn’t melted, continue heating and stirring in 30-second intervals until chocolate is completely melted.

  • Dip the pretzels, one at a time, into the melted chocolate. Use a fork to dip each pretzel into the chocolate and lightly tap the fork on side of the bowl to shake off the excess chocolate. You can also use a toothpick to remove any excess chocolate from the holes of the pretzels.
