Easy Chocolate Covered Pretzels Recipe

Last Updated on November 9, 2026 by Mr. B

This Easy Chocolate Covered Pretzels Recipe is super simple to make, even more fun to eat, and the perfect no-bake dessert to create with kids. Of course, you don’t need little ones to appreciate the sweet and salty goodness of this yummy treat!

This dessert is also really versatile. You can make it for Halloween (add orange food coloring for the white chocolate), Christmas (red and green sprinkles, anyone)?  Even throw on some red sprinkles or food coloring for a Valentine’s Day theme. However, if you’re like my family, you just make them whenever because they’re good!

Whip up these delicious sweet and salty treats whenever the craving hits because they are incredibly easy to put together.

These chocolate covered pretzels are covered in both semisweet chocolate and white chocolate. My daughter only wants the white ones and my sons prefer the other. Everybody wins!

I store the pretzels in the fridge in storage bags. You can also put wax paper between them if you’re worried about them sticking together. I did not use the wax paper and they came apart just fine for me.

A kid-friendly dessert that’s perfect to make on a Saturday afternoon.  Just try not to eat them all in one sitting!

Ingredients

  

• 1 Cup Semisweet Chocolate Chips
• 1 Cup White Chocolate Chips
• Heavy Cream (to thin) (start with 2 tablespoons per batch of chocolate, up to ~½ cup total as needed for consistency)
• Miniature Pretzels

Method

 

1. Prep the Chocolates:
2. Place the semi-sweet chocolate morsels and white chocolate morsels into separate microwave-safe bowls/containers.
3. Add 2 tablespoons of heavy whipping cream to each bowl.
4. Melt & Thin the Chocolate:
5. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each burst until melted.
6. Add a splash more heavy cream as needed to reach a smooth, loose dipping consistency (do not exceed ½ cup).
7. Dip the Pretzels:
8. Drop pretzels into either the melted semi-sweet or white chocolate.
9. Use a fork to lift out each pretzel, letting excess chocolate drip off.
10. Place the coated pretzels onto a lined tray or baking sheet.
11. First Chill:
12. Place the tray in the refrigerator for about 1 to 2 hours until the chocolate is fully set and firm.
13. Drizzle Decoration:
14. Reheat any leftover chocolate (or keep in piping bags/plastic storage bags) in short 30-second microwave bursts until soft.
15. Snip a small corner off the bag.
16. Drizzle contrasting chocolate across the pretzels (white chocolate drizzle over the dark coated pretzels, and dark chocolate drizzle over the white coated pretzels).
17. Final Set & Serve:
18. Return the tray to the refrigerator for about 1 hour to allow the drizzle to set completely.
19. Gently release the pretzels from the sheet (using the back of a paring knife if needed) and serve.
