I'm not sure about these chocolate pretzels. I'm not a big fan of pretzels in general.

I'm going to try making these chocolate pretzels again, but I'll use a different recipe.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my chocolate pretzels didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped. The chocolate coating was too thick and the pretzels were too soft.

These chocolate pretzels are a bit too sweet for my taste, but they're still pretty good.

I'm not a big fan of chocolate pretzels, but these ones are actually really good. The chocolate is rich and dark, and the pretzels are nice and crunchy.
