# Expert advice:

01 -
  • They look impressive but require almost no experience in the kitchen.
  • The sweet and salty combination hits every craving at once without feeling heavy.
  • You can make a huge batch in less than an hour and store them for days.
02 -
  • Do not let any water touch the chocolate or it will turn grainy and unusable.
  • If the chocolate gets too thick while dipping, reheat it gently to bring back the smooth consistency.
  • Let the pretzels cool completely before stacking or wrapping, or they will stick together.
03 -
  • Use a tall narrow glass to melt the chocolate if you are only dipping a few pretzels, it makes coating easier.
  • Add a tiny pinch of sea salt directly into the melted chocolate for an even deeper flavor throughout.
  • If the chocolate starts to harden on the pretzels before you finish, work in smaller batches and reheat as needed.
