Tips:

  • Use fresh pretzels for the best results. Stale pretzels will not soften properly in the microwave.
  • If you don't have a microwave-safe plate, you can use a regular plate covered with plastic wrap.
  • Be careful not to overheat the pretzels. If they are overheated, they will become tough and chewy.
  • You can use any type of chocolate chips you like. Semi-sweet, dark chocolate, or milk chocolate are all good choices.
  • If you don't have any chocolate chips, you can use chopped nuts or dried fruit instead.
  • Be sure to let the pretzels cool completely before serving. This will help the chocolate to set and harden.

Conclusion:

Microwave Turtle Pretzels are a quick and easy snack or dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with just a few simple ingredients and can be customized to your liking. Whether you like them with chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit, these pretzels are sure to be a hit!
