To melt the chocolate, use a microwave-safe bowl and heat it in 20 second increments, stirring in between each interval. Usually, it takes about 3-4 intervals. Once you see smaller pieces remaining, stop microwaving and use a spoon to stir, as the residual heat will melt the chocolate.

Once fully melted, stir ½ teaspoon of oil into each type of chocolate. This will help you achieve the perfect consistency for dipping, give the chocolate a glossy finish, and allow the chocolate to have a softer texture versus a hard crack when you bite it.

Line a baking sheet with wax paper, parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.

Dip each pretzel into the melted chocolate, using a fork or dipping tool to fully coat it. Tap off any excess chocolate. Pro tip for pretzel rods: transfer the melted chocolate into a tall, skinny glass for easy dipping.

Place the chocolate-covered pretzels on the lined baking sheet, making sure they're not touching each other. This will allow the chocolate to set without sticking to each other.

Add Toppings (Optional): If desired, sprinkle the chocolate-covered pretzels with toppings like sprinkles, crushed nuts, or sea salt before the chocolate sets.

Allow the pretzels to sit at room temperature until the chocolate fully sets. If you want to add a drizzle, place a small amount of chocolate into a piping bag or sandwich bag. Cut a small hole in one corner, then carefully drizzle the chocolate over the pretzels.

Once the chocolate has set, you can store the chocolate-covered pretzels in an airtight container at room temperature for several days.
