Ingredients
Mini pretzels
8
oz.
white chocolate
8
oz.
milk chocolate
4
tablespoons
vegetable shortening
divided
Decorations
sprinkles, nuts, etc.
Instructions
In a medium size bowl add white chocolate and 2 tablespoons of vegetable shortening.
Microwave, stirring every 6-10 seconds until completely melted.
Use a fork to dip pretzel into and out of chocolate.
Let excess chocolate drip off.
Place on wax paper to dry.
When chocolate has hardened, redip the pretzels (some white chocolate brands only require one dipping for a thick coating)
Add sprinkles while chocolate is still wet.
Add the milk chocolate drizzle once the white chocolate has completely set.
To make the drizzled pretzels, use a fork and quickly swing chocolate over the pretzels back and forth. Let harden.
Repeat the same instructions to make milk chocolate covered pretzels, except double dipping is not needed.
Store pretzels between layers of parchment paper.
I prefer to keep them in the refrigerator.
