Pretzels about 3 cups: You can use traditional pretzel twists or mini pretzels—both work wonderfully. If you prefer, try using pretzel rods for a more elegant presentation.
White chocolate chips 1 ½ cups: The star of the show! You’ll want to use high-quality white chocolate for the creamiest, smoothest coating. You can also use a white chocolate bar and chop it into pieces if preferred.
Toppings optional, to taste: This is where you can get creative! Consider adding:
Sprinkles for a fun, colorful touch
Sea salt for that perfect salty-sweet contrast
Crushed nuts like almonds or pistachios for crunch
Crushed candy canes or other festive add-ins great for the holidays!
These are all optional but they can take your white chocolate pretzels to the next level.
Optional flavoring: If you want to add an extra kick of flavor a few drops of vanilla extract or even a pinch of cinnamon can enhance the sweetness of the white chocolate.

Start by melting the white chocolate. You have two great options:
Microwave Method: Place the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-30 second intervals on low heat, stirring each time until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. This method is quick and convenient.
Stovetop Method: Alternatively, you can melt the white chocolate using a double boiler. Place a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water, making sure the bowl doesn’t touch the water. Stir the chocolate gently until it’s completely melted.

Once your white chocolate is smooth and melted, it's time to coat the pretzels.
Dip: Use tongs or a fork to dip each pretzel into the melted chocolate, making sure it's fully coated. Tap off any excess chocolate by gently tapping the fork on the edge of the bowl.
Drizzle: If you prefer a lighter touch, you can drizzle the melted chocolate over the pretzels using a spoon for a more delicate coating.

Place each chocolate-coated pretzel onto parchment paper or a silicone mat. If you want to add toppings like sprinkles, sea salt, or chopped nuts, sprinkle them on top while the chocolate is still soft. Let the pretzels sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or speed up the process by refrigerating them for 10-15 minutes until the chocolate hardens and sets.

Once the white chocolate has fully set, your pretzels are ready to enjoy! If you're not serving them immediately, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. For longer shelf life, you can store them in the refriger
