Start by laying out all your ingredients and equipment on a clean, flat surface.
Using a double boiler or a microwave, gently melt the chocolate until smooth.
Take a pretzel rod and dip it into the chocolate, ensuring it’s coated evenly. Let any excess chocolate drip off.
If using caramel, melt it separately and drizzle over the chocolate-coated pretzel rods.
Place the dipped pretzel rods on the lined baking sheet, spaced out to prevent sticking.
Allow the chocolate to set completely, about 15-20 minutes in the refrigerator.
Once set, decorate with sprinkles, crushed nuts, or additional melted chocolate if desired.
