Step 1:

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

Step 2:

Arrange small clusters of pretzel sticks (about 6 8 sticks per stack) spaced apart on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 3:

Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.

Step 4:

Using a spoon, drizzle or coat each pretzel cluster generously with melted semi-sweet chocolate, ensuring the pretzels stick together.

Step 6:

Immediately sprinkle with mini chocolate candies or chopped toasted nuts if desired.

Step 7:

Let the stacks sit at room temperature until the chocolate sets, or refrigerate for 15 minutes for quicker setting.

Step 8:

Once set, gently lift the stacks off the baking sheet and serve.
