  • Place the melting wafers and coconut oil into a microwave safe bowl, microwave for 1 minute, then stir. If the chocolate is has not melted, microwave again in 10 second bursts, stirring after each, until it has melted.

  • Use a spoon to drizzle the melted chocolate into the pretzels. If you're using two colors (or two kinds of chocolate) add sprinkles to the first batch before melting the second batch of chocolate.

  • Let the chocolate cool without moving the pretzels. Once it hardens, you can remove the pretzels from the parchment paper.

Notes

Chocolate: You can also use dark or milk chocolate. Or add a drop of food coloring if you'd like pink chocolate. 
Pretzels: I prefer the small bites of mini pretzels, but regular-sized pretzels work too. 1 cup = 40 grams or approximately 30 mini pretzels.
Coconut oil: Adding a little coconut oil to the white chocolate helps it to melt easier (white chocolate is notorious for seizing if it gets too hot) and makes it easier to pour into the pretzels. Use refined coconut oil if you don't want a coconut flavor. Or you can opt for a neutral-flavored oil, such as avocado oil, but know that the chocolate will take longer to harden and will be a little softer.
