Chocolate-Dipped Pretzels

Satisfy your sweet tooth (and your salty tooth!) simultaneously with this chocolate-dipped pretzel recipe. Cocoa nibs give these chocolate-dipped pretzels an extra layer of chocolaty flavor.

Prep/Cook Time: 45 Minutes, Servings: 24

Ingredients

• ½ cup bittersweet chocolate chips
• 24 pretzel twists, preferably whole-wheat, or 12 pretzel rods, broken in half
• 2 tablespoons cocoa nibs

Directions

1. Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper.
2. Place chocolate chips in a small glass bowl. Microwave on Medium for 1 minute. Stir, then continue microwaving in 20-second intervals until melted, stirring after each interval. (Alternatively, melt in the top of a double boiler over hot, but not boiling, water.)
3. Dip half of each pretzel piece into the melted chocolate. Let the excess drip back into the bowl. Place the dipped pieces on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle cocoa nibs over the chocolate. Refrigerate until the chocolate is set, about 30 minutes.
