Tips & Variations

• Use dark chocolate chips for a richer flavor, or white chocolate for a sweeter twist.
• Try adding crushed nuts or colorful sprinkles for extra texture and fun.
• To make dipping easier, warm the chocolate gradually so it stays smooth and doesn’t seize.

Storage

Store leftover chocolate-covered pretzels in an airtight container at room temperature. They will keep fresh for up to one week. If your home is warm, refrigeration is fine but allow pretzels to come back to room temperature before enjoying for the best texture.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use large pretzels instead of mini pretzels?

Yes, you can use larger pretzels; just adjust the dipping time and chocolate quantity as needed.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Ingredients

• 2 cups mini pretzels
• 1 cup semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
• Sea salt or sprinkles (optional, for topping)

Instructions

1. Prepare the baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a Silpat mat to ensure easy cleanup and to prevent the chocolate-covered pretzels from sticking.
2. Melt the chocolate: Place the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each interval until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Alternatively, melt the chocolate in a double boiler on the stovetop over simmering water, stirring continuously until smooth.
3. Dip the pretzels: Using a fork or a dipping tool, dip each mini pretzel into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Take care to evenly cover the pretzel with chocolate.
4. Remove excess chocolate: Gently shake off any excess chocolate from the dipped pretzel so it doesn’t pool excessively on the baking sheet, then place the coated pretzel onto the prepared baking sheet.
5. Add toppings (optional): If desired, sprinkle some sea salt or colorful sprinkles on top of the chocolate-covered pretzels immediately after dipping while the chocolate is still wet.
6. Set the chocolate: Allow the dipped pretzels to rest at room temperature until the chocolate hardens, or speed up the process by placing the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 10 to 15 minutes until the chocolate is fully set.
7. Store and serve: Once set, enjoy your homemade FLIPz chocolate-covered pretzels! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain their crunch and freshness.

Notes

• Use good quality chocolate chips for the best flavor and smooth coating.
• Microwave melting requires careful attention to avoid burning the chocolate; stir frequently.
• Ensure pretzels are completely dry before dipping to help the chocolate adhere better.
• These treats can be stored at room temperature for up to 1 week in an airtight container.
• To make them dairy-free, substitute with vegan chocolate chips.
