Ingredients:

  • 24 thick pretzel rods (approx. 720g)
  • 12 oz high-quality 70% dark chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp virgin coconut oil
  • 4 oz lower-sugar white chocolate
  • 2 tbsp naturally dyed red and green sprinkles
  • 1 tbsp freeze-dried raspberry powder
  • 1 tbsp crushed raw pistachios

Instructions:

  1. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat. Place pretzel rods in the freezer for 10 minutes to chill.
  2. Place dark chocolate and coconut oil in a tall, narrow microwave-safe glass or dipping mug.
  3. Microwave in 30-second intervals at 50% power, stirring vigorously between each burst until 80% melted. Stir until smooth using residual heat.
  4. Dip each chilled pretzel rod into the chocolate, leaving 1-2 inches at the bottom for a handle. Tap the rod gently against the side of the glass to remove excess.
  5. Immediately apply sprinkles, raspberry powder, or crushed pistachios while the chocolate is wet.
  6. Melt the white chocolate similarly and drizzle over the rods for a festive finish if desired.
  7. Place on the prepared baking sheet and let set at room temperature for 30 minutes or until firm.
