I had some trouble melting the chocolate. It kept getting lumpy. I finally got it smooth by adding a little bit of oil.

These pretzels are a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try using dark chocolate next time.

I'm not a huge fan of peppermint, but I really liked these pretzels. The chocolate and peppermint flavors were balanced perfectly.

These are the most delicious chocolate-covered pretzels I've ever had! The peppermint flavor is just the right amount of minty without being overpowering.

These pretzels were a big hit with my family. They're sweet, salty, and minty all at the same time. The chocolate and peppermint flavors really complement each other.

I love this recipe! It's so simple, but the pretzels turn out so delicious. I've made them several times now and they're always a hit. Adding crushed candy canes on top was my personal touch!
