Preparation

Step 1

In a microwave safe dish, place semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 teaspoon of oil. Microwave until melted. Stir until smooth. Add 1/2 teaspoon of pumpkin spice. Stir in well. Set aside.
In another microwave safe dish, place white chocolate chips and 1 teaspoon of oil. Microwave until melted. Stir until smooth. Add the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of pumpkin spice and 4 to 5 drops of the food coloring. Stir in well. Set aside.
Line a large cookie or baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
Divide the pretzels. Dip one cup of pretzels in semi-sweet chocolate. Using a fork, dip each pretzel in the chocolate and tap against the edge of the dish so the excess of chocolate drips back down to the bowl. Place pretzel on prepared baking sheet. Repeat until whole cup of pretzels is coated.
Repeat with the remaining cup and the melted white chocolate.
Let pretzels sit until the chocolate is set. You can place them in the freezer to speed up the setting.
If needed, reheat the chocolate. Using a fork or a squeeze bottle, drizzle the semi-sweet chocolate over the white chocolate covered pretzels.
