Melt the Chocolate

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet and milk chocolate chips. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.

Combine Pretzels and Chocolate

Add the pretzel sticks to the melted chocolate and stir until they are fully coated.

Form Clusters

Using a spoon, drop clusters of the chocolate-coated pretzels onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with chopped nuts and sea salt if desired.

Cool and Set

Let the clusters cool at room temperature or refrigerate for about 15 minutes, until the chocolate is set.

Enjoy your delicious chocolate covered pretzel clusters!

Storage Tips

To keep your chocolate covered pretzel clusters fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They can last for about a week, though they are likely to disappear much sooner due to their irresistible nature. If you live in a warm climate, consider refrigerating them to prevent the chocolate from melting.

For longer storage, you can freeze the clusters. Just make sure to place them in a single layer on a baking sheet before transferring them to a freezer-safe container. This way, they'll maintain their shape and won't stick together. When you're ready to enjoy them, simply let them thaw at room temperature.

Serving Suggestions

These chocolate covered pretzel clusters are perfect for a variety of occasions. Serve them at birthday parties, holiday gatherings, or as a sweet treat for movie night. Their appealing look and delicious taste make them a great addition to any dessert table.

You can also package them in cute bags or boxes to give as gifts. They're a thoughtful homemade treat that your friends and family will appreciate. Pair them with a nice bottle of wine or a selection of gourmet coffee for an added touch.
