How to Make Chocolate Covered Pretzels

  1. Melt 12 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon of shortening or paraffin wax in a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl. If using a microwave, heat in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  2. Stir until the chocolate and shortening/wax are completely smooth and combined.
  3. Remove from heat. If using a double boiler, keep the bowl over the hot water to maintain a workable temperature.
  4. If using a microwave, reheat in 15-second intervals if the mixture becomes too thick for dipping.
  5. Dip each pretzel into the melted chocolate, ensuring it's fully coated. Gently tap off any excess chocolate.
  6. Place the dipped pretzels on a wax paper-lined baking sheet. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is completely firm.
