How to Make Chocolate Covered Pretzels
- 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.
- Stir until the chocolate and shortening/wax are completely smooth and combined.
- Remove from heat. If using a double boiler, keep the bowl over the hot water to maintain a workable temperature.
- If using a microwave, reheat in 15-second intervals if the mixture becomes too thick for dipping.
- Dip each pretzel into the melted chocolate, ensuring it's fully coated. Gently tap off any excess chocolate.
- 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.
