Schokoladenpretzels are a classic German treat made with chocolate and pretzels. These sweet and salty treats are a favorite among adults and children alike. The pretzels are made by combining cocoa, flour, sugar, and butter to create a rich dough that is shaped into a pretzel before being baked in the oven. Once the pretzels are baked and cooled, they are drizzled with a chocolate frosting, making them even more delicious.
