- Dip each pretzel rod into the melted chocolate, using a spoon to help coat.
- Shake off excess chocolate into the mug to avoid sprinkle overload.

Notes
- Want a salty crunch? Roll the chocolate-dipped part in chopped nuts instead of sprinkles - or do a little of both.
- Let the pretzels set completely, then store them in an airtight container at room temp. They’ll stay fresh for several days.
- Leave an inch or two of pretzel bare at the bottom so there’s a clean spot to hold (no chocolate fingers!).
