How to Make Chocolate Covered Pretzels
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a double boiler or heat-safe bowl set over a pan of simmering water, melt 12 ounces of semisweet chocolate chips with 2 teaspoons of shortening, stirring constantly until smooth and melted.
- Remove from heat.
- Using tongs, dip each pretzel into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.
- Place the dipped pretzels onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Immediately sprinkle with your desired toppings (colored sugar, sprinkles, 1 tablespoon grated coconut, or 1 tablespoon crushed candy canes).
- Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden.
- Once hardened, melt 4 ounces of white chocolate chips in a separate double boiler or heat-safe bowl.
- Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the pretzels in thin lines using a fork or piping bag.
- Return to the baking sheet and refrigerate for another 5-10 minutes to allow the white chocolate to set.
