Line a large baking sheet with wax paper and set aside. Melt one type of chocolate at a time (either white or milk chocolate) in a microwave-safe bowl in 20–30 second intervals, stirring well between each, until smooth. I suggest working with one chocolate at a time as it's easier to manage!
Dip pretzels or Oreos into the melted chocolate, using a fork to lift them out and gently tap off excess chocolate. Place dipped treats onto the prepared baking sheet and immediately add sprinkles, peppermint, mini M&Ms, or other toppings before the chocolate sets. If the chocolate begins to thicken as you work, simply reheat it in 10–15 second intervals, stirring well each time.
If you plan to drizzle with the opposite chocolate, set aside a small amount of melted chocolate and allow the dipped treats to set first. Reheat the reserved chocolate in short intervals until smooth, then drizzle over the set treats using a spoon or piping bag.
Let the chocolate fully set at room temperature or refrigerate for 10–15 minutes until firm. Once set, gently remove treats from the wax paper and serve or store in an airtight container.
