Servings: 12 people
Calories: 271kcal
Ingredients
- 10 ounce dark chocolate chips bag (or substitute semisweet)
- 1 pound whole-wheat mini pretzels bag, unsalted
- 2 teaspoons sea salt flakes
Instructions
- Line 2 baking sheets with wax paper.
- Melt chocolate in a double boiler over medium heat on the stovetop.*
- *To make your own double boiler, put a metal or heat-proof glass bowl or pot over a pot of one-inch simmering water. Simmering water should not touch the pot or bowl that is on top.
- Stir constantly. Once melted, remove from heat. Alternatively, heat in a microwave-safe dish for 30-second intervals and remove each time to stir until melted. Ensure that no water gets into the chocolate, or it will seize.
- Remove the chocolate from heat.
- Drop pretzels into the melted chocolate a handful at a time. Remove one at a time with kitchen tongs or a fork, shaking off excess chocolate back into the bowl and placing the pretzel on the wax paper. Once each handful has been dipped in the chocolate and placed on the wax paper, sprinkle the pretzels with sea salt while they’re still hot.
- Working in batches, finish all of the pretzels. Place the baking sheet in the fridge for at least an hour for the chocolate to harden.
Notes
Mini or regular chocolate chips both work fine.
If salted pretzel is the only type available, use those, but do not garnish with sea salt.
