Ingredients
- 12 oz high-quality chocolate milk, dark, or white
- 1 tbsp coconut oil optional, for smoother melting

Instructions
- Break the chocolate into small pieces and place in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring after each, until fully melted and smooth. If using, stir in coconut oil for a glossier texture.
- Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each pretzel into the melted chocolate, ensuring even coverage.
- Gently tap the pretzel against the side of the bowl to remove excess chocolate and prevent drips.
- Place dipped pretzels onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Before the chocolate hardens, sprinkle with desired toppings such as crushed nuts, sprinkles, or sea salt.
- Allow pretzels to set at room temperature or place in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to firm up.
- Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
For a gourmet touch, drizzle with contrasting melted chocolate (e.g., white chocolate on dark chocolate). Store in a cool, dry place to prevent melting.
