Chocolate Covered Pretzels
To make Chocolate Covered Pretzels, build a quick snack around pretzels, chocolate, and sprinkles and finish it while the toppings still have something to grab onto. It works because the sweet part gets backup from crunch, salt, or contrast instead of going one-note.
These chocolate covered pretzels take five minutes of actual work and turn into a snack everybody reaches for first. Sweet and salty, dressed up with sprinkles if you're feeling festive.
They're a good holiday treat or easy snack for a party tray. Let the chocolate set fully before stacking them so they don't stick together.
