Instructions

Prepare the work surface. Line a baking sheet with wax paper and set it aside to hold the dipped pretzels while they set.
Melt the chocolate. Place the coarsely chopped semisweet chocolate in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 1 minute, then stir thoroughly. Continue heating in 30-second increments, stirring well each time, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Dip the pretzels. Using a fork, dip each mini pretzel one by one into the melted chocolate, fully coating it. Gently tap the fork against the side of the bowl to let excess chocolate drip off. Use a toothpick if needed to remove chocolate from the pretzel holes for a cleaner appearance.
Add toppings and arrange. Place each chocolate-coated pretzel onto the lined baking sheet. Immediately sprinkle your choice of toppings such as sprinkles, toasted coconut, crushed M&M’s, mini caramels, drizzled melted white chocolate, or graham cracker crumbs over the wet chocolate before it sets.
Set the chocolate. Once all pretzels are coated and topped, refrigerate the baking sheet for about 15 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden and fully set.

Notes

Use any type of chocolate you prefer — milk, white, or dark chocolate will all work well.
Toasting the coconut before sprinkling enhances its flavor and crunch.
For easier chocolate melting, chop the chocolate into small, uniform pieces.
Store finished pretzels in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them crisp.
If desired, customize toppings to your liking for variety and festive presentation.
