Total Time 2 hours 15 minutes
Course: Dessert, Snack
Cuisine: American

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.
