the easiest treat you’ll ever make.

What if I told you there was a treat that included just three ingredients?

What if that same treat required no measurements and no baking?

What if the recipe could easily be doubled or tripled to give as a holiday gift?

Friends, dreams do come true.

ingredients:

Bing. Bang. Boom.

I kept this particular batch small, but you can make more while using the same ratios: 1/4 cup (or 112g) of chocolate per 6 medium-sized pretzels.

I actually used both dark and white chocolate chips – 2 tablespoons of each.

Microwave the chocolate chips for 90 seconds. The chips might not look entirely melted, but they will after a quick stir.

And then – the fun part. Dip the pretzels in the warm pool of chocolately goodness. Use a spoon to aid in the coating process.

Tap the pretzel on the side of the bowl to get off any excess chocolate (or not…depending on how much of a chocoholic you might be).

Place the pretzel on a parchment-lined plate, and immediately top with sprinkles. Or more chocolate.

When you’re done decorating, refrigerate the pretzels for at least 15 minutes to let the chocolate harden.

I don’t think it gets much easier than that.

Depending on your collection of sprinkles (I just happen to have enough to last a lifetime)….

…you can make autumny pretzels:

Christmasy pretzels:

…and omg-get-in-my-mouth-now pretzels:

Oh, and regarding my extreme pickiness when it comes to enjoying chocolate, “when covering a pretzel” is definitely on my list of exceptions.

I just have to ask – SPRINKLES or JIMMIES?? (I tend to use both…)
