Tips:

Use high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the taste of your pretzels. Look for good-quality chocolate, peppermint extract, and pretzels.
Be careful not to overcook the chocolate. If you do, it will become thick and difficult to work with.
If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can use the microwave to melt the chocolate. Just heat it in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until it is melted and smooth.
Dip the pretzels in the chocolate one at a time. This will help to prevent the chocolate from getting too thick.
Sprinkle the pretzels with crushed candy canes or peppermint pieces while the chocolate is still wet. This will help them to adhere to the pretzels.
Let the pretzels cool completely before eating them. This will allow the chocolate to set and harden.

Conclusion:

These chocolate peppermint pretzels are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up leftover chocolate and pretzels. So next time you have a sweet craving, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
