It's relatively simple: melt the chocolate, dip the pretzels, add the toppings, and let them dry on parchment or wax paper.
Here are some of my tips:
Candy melts are the best type of chocolate to use as they melt easily, but if you don't have any on hand, chocolate chips work too. Semisweet will, however, botch the taste. Add some butter or shortening to the chocolate chips and put them in the microwave or on the stove to melt them and make it easier to dip the pretzels in it.
If you want to use rods, you can use a tall drinking glass for the chocolate, making it much easier to dip. If you want to use twists, a slightly less shallow bowl should do the trick.
You can add whatever toppings you want to make them look and taste more festive. Sprinkles, a drizzle, toffee, nuts, shredded coconut, or whatever your heart desires.
If you're like me and enjoy everything covered in chocolate, this works for everything. Fudge covered strawberries, Oreos and crackers are also extremely popular in the holiday season.
They make a great gift and are soooo yummy!
