When I first heard about chocolate-covered pretzels, I was utterly confused. What is this nonsense about dipping salty food into chocolate? Little did I know that salt on chocolate would be a thing years later. Little did I know that I would learn to LOVE chocolate-covered pretzels! The turning point was when I bought one of those 100-calorie snack packs with the chocolate-covered pretzels. One bite was all it took for me to understand that salt and chocolate really do go together. The thing about store-bought chocolate-covered pretzels is that they tend to get too sweet. You may disagree, but dipping these pretzels in semi-sweet chocolate (and not milk chocolate) is the way to go. I wanted the pretzels to be thinly coated with chocolate, so I melted chocolate chips with a bit of coconut oil. The melted chocolate will be thinner and stay all nice and melty for longer this way. BUT, it also means that you should store the pretzels in the refrigerator so that the chocolate does not melt over again. Are you ready for this fun weekend cooking project? Do you love chocolate-covered pretzels as much as I do?
