# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • These pretzels have this magical quality where the chocolate starts to melt just slightly on your fingertips, giving you permission to lick your fingers like nobody is watching.
  • They make you look like a kitchen genius with barely any effort, and honestly, sometimes we all need a win that takes 15 minutes or less.
02 -
  • The first time I made these, I waited too long to add sprinkles and they just bounced right off the hardened chocolate, so now I keep the sprinkles right beside my dipping station for immediate action.
  • Working in small batches keeps the chocolate at the perfect consistency, otherwise it starts to thicken and you get chunky coating instead of that smooth, glossy finish.
03 -
  • If your chocolate starts to thicken while youre working, place the bowl over a second bowl of warm water to maintain that perfect dippable consistency without having to reheat.
  • For an extra-fancy touch, drizzle white chocolate over the set dark chocolate in thin lines, then drag a toothpick through to create elegant feathered patterns.
