Step 1:

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

Step 2:

Arrange small clusters of pretzel sticks (about 6&ndash8 sticks per stack) spaced apart on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3:

Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.

Step 4:

Using a spoon, drizzle or coat each pretzel cluster generously with melted semi-sweet chocolate, ensuring the pretzels stick together.

Step 5:

Melt the white chocolate chips in a separate bowl using the same method. Drizzle the white chocolate over the chocolate-covered pretzel stacks for a decorative effect.

Step 6:

Immediately sprinkle with mini chocolate candies or chopped toasted nuts if desired.

Step 7:

Let the stacks sit at room temperature until the chocolate sets, or refrigerate for 15 minutes for quicker setting.

Step 8:

Once set, gently lift the stacks off the baking sheet and serve.

Recipe Q&A

→ What type of chocolate works best for coating?

Semi-sweet chocolate chips melt smoothly and balance sweetness well, but milk or dark chocolate can be used for variation.

→ How do I prevent pretzel sticks from breaking during assembly?

Arrange small clusters of 6 to 8 pretzel sticks carefully on a lined surface to keep them intact while coating.

→ Can I prepare these in advance?

Yes, the stacks can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week without losing freshness.

→ What garnishes complement the chocolate layers?

Mini chocolate candies or chopped toasted nuts add color, texture, and a festive appearance, enhancing the overall bite.

→ How long does the chocolate take to set?

Leaving the stacks at room temperature allows the chocolate to firm up naturally; refrigerating for 15 minutes speeds this process.
