1 tbsp coconut oil (optional, for smoother melting) Shop
1 tsp sprinkles (optional, for decoration) Shop

Instructions

1 Prepare your workspace by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will prevent the chocolate-covered pretzels from sticking as they set. Have your gluten-free pretzels ready to be dipped.
2 In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dairy-free chocolate chips and the optional coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. This should take approximately 1.5 to 2 minutes in total, depending on your microwave's power.
3 Dip each gluten-free pretzel into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. You can use a fork or a dipping tool to help submerge and lift the pretzels. Allow any excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl for a cleaner finish.
4 Place the chocolate-covered pretzels onto the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet. If using sprinkles, add them immediately after dipping while the chocolate is still wet, pressing them gently into the coating. Repeat this process for all the gluten-free pretzels, working relatively quickly before the chocolate begins to set.
5 Allow the chocolate-covered pretzels to set completely. This can be done at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes, or you can speed up the process by refrigerating the baking sheet for about 10 minutes until the chocolate is firm. Once set, they are ready to be enjoyed or stored.
