Ingredients
  

Pretzel rods
  • 24 pretzel rods
Chocolate coating
  • 8 oz white chocolate melted
  • 8 oz dark chocolate melted
Strawberry shortcake topping
  • 1 box strawberry cake mix baked and crushed into fine crumbs
  • 8 oz whipped topping thawed
  • 1 fresh strawberry slices for garnish
  • 1 sprinkles optional

Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan

Method
 

Dip the pretzels
  1. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Dip half of each pretzel rod into melted dark chocolate and place on the parchment paper, with the dipped side down for easier settling.
  2. Dip the other half of each pretzel rod into melted white chocolate. Lay each rod on the parchment paper so both colors set without touching.
Pipe the strawberry shortcake topping
  1. Combine crushed strawberry cake crumbs and thawed whipped topping in a piping bag with a small tip. Pipe a small dollop onto each chocolate-dipped pretzel so the top is centered and slightly domed.
  2. Sprinkle additional cake crumbs over the dollops if desired. Place a fresh strawberry slice on top, then add sprinkles if using.
Chill and serve
  1. Refrigerate the pretzels for at least 30 minutes before serving. Chill until the chocolate is fully set and the topping looks firm rather than soft or runny.

Notes

For clean chocolate dips, melt white and dark chocolate until smooth, then let excess drip back briefly before placing on parchment. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; do not freeze (the whipped topping can weep after thawing). If you want a lighter option, use sugar-free whipped topping and keep the cake crumbs optional or reduce their amount for fewer calories.
