Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 bag pretzels Choose traditional pretzel twists or rods based on your preference.
- 2 cups chocolate chips Use milk, dark, or white chocolate, depending on your taste.
- ½ cup crushed candy canes Adds a refreshing minty flavor and a pop of color.

Instructions
Preparation
- Start by gathering all your ingredients and measuring them out. This prep makes the entire process smoother and faster.
Melting Chocolate
- In a microwave-safe bowl, add the chocolate chips. Microwave them in 30-second increments, stirring often, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Take care not to overheat!
Dipping Pretzels
- Take each pretzel individually and coat it with the melted chocolate. Ensure each pretzel is well-covered for maximum flavor.
Setting
- Place the coated pretzels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup easy.
- Before the chocolate hardens, sprinkle the crushed candy canes and festive sprinkles on top of the pretzels. This adds both flavor and a festive touch.
- Let the pretzels sit at room temperature to let the chocolate set. Alternatively, refrigerate them for about 15-20 minutes for quicker results.
Packaging
- If you’re giving them as gifts, consider packaging them in treat bags or decorative boxes once they’re set.
Enjoying
- Once your Chocolate-Covered Pretzels – Christmas Style are fully set, they’re ready to be enjoyed!
Notes
To keep your pretzels fresh, store them in an airtight container with parchment paper between layers.
