Ingredients

▢ 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, 6 oz
▢ 1 cup white chocolate chips, 6 oz
▢ 2 teaspoons coconut oil, divided
▢ 50 ct. mini pretzels, about 2 oz total
▢ 1/2 cup red and green M&Ms, 4 oz
▢ 1/4 cup Christmas sprinkles of choice, 2 oz

Instructions

Place the semi-sweet chocolate chips and white chocolate chips into two separate microwave-safe glass bowls.
Add 1 teaspoon of coconut oil to each bowl.
Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips at 50% for 60 seconds. Stir. If the chocolate is not yet melted, microwave an additional 30 seconds.
Microwave the white chocolate on 50% for 90 seconds. Stir the white chocolate chips. If the chocolate is not yet completely smooth, microwave an additional 30 seconds. Stir until smooth.
Place the pretzels in either the melted semi-sweet chocolate or the melted white chocolate, one at a time, and cover completely. Remove with a fork, shaking off any excess chocolate.
Place the chocolate covered pretzels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Immediately top with Christmas sprinkles and red and green M&Ms.
Let the chocolate set up until firm. Store pretzels in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator or freezer for longer storage.

Notes

This recipe is extremely flexible. If you don’t want to use two different types of chocolate, just use one and double the amount.
Nutrition calculations are an estimate based on one chocolate covered pretzel and using all of the chocolate and decorations in the recipe. Keep in mind, you will most likely have some excess white chocolate and sprinkles that do not make it onto the chocolate covered pretzels.
To make this recipe gluten-free, use gluten-free mini pretzels.
The coconut oil is used to thin out the white chocolate and to also help it firm up. You can also use vegetable oil instead if you prefer, though the chocolate may take longer to set up.
Store chocolate covered pretzels in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. I like to freeze mine for longer storage.
