How to make chocolate covered pretzels

Reserve 1/3 cup of the white chocolate wafers and 1/3 cup of the dark chocolate wafers and set aside.

Step 1: Melt the remaining dark chocolate wafers in a small bowl in the microwave, until smooth.

Step 2: One at a time, dip two cups worth of pretzels into the melted dark chocolate, tap off excess chocolate, and place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet

Step 3: Melt the remaining white chocolate wafers in the microwave until smooth.

Step 4: One at a time, dip 1 ¾ cups of pretzels in the white chocolate, tap off the excess chocolate, and place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.

Step 5: Place the pretzels in the fridge to allow the chocolate to harden.

Step 6: Melt the remaining ⅓ cup of dark chocolate wafers.

Drizzle the melted chocolate over the white chocolate pretzels.

Step 7: Melt the remaining ⅓ cup of the white vanilla wafers.

Drizzle the melted chocolate over the dark chocolate pretzels.

Place the chocolate pretzels back into the fridge until the chocolate sets.

Serve and enjoy once the chocolate has hardened!

This recipe will make around 90-100 mini pretzels.

I prefer to store mine in an airtight container in the fridge and eat within 1-2 weeks.

I love to keep any extras in the freezer for a quick dessert when my sweet tooth craving hits.
