# How to Make It:

06 - Store finished pretzels in an airtight container at cool room temperature for up to one week.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The sweet and salty combo hits every craving button in one satisfying crunch
  • These come together in under 30 minutes but look like you spent all day crafting them
  • Kids can help with the sprinkles, making it a perfect holiday bonding moment
02 -
  • Even a tiny drop of water will seize your chocolate into a grainy mess, so keep everything completely dry
  • Work in small batches because the chocolate sets faster than you expect once you start decorating
  • The pretzels taste best at room temperature, so pull them out of the fridge 20 minutes before serving
03 -
  • If your chocolate seems too thick for dipping, stir in a teaspoon of coconut oil to smooth it out
  • Hold the dipped pretzel over the bowl and give it a gentle twirl to catch drips before placing on the tray
  • Crushed candy canes or mini eggs make fantastic alternatives to traditional sprinkles
