Add 2 cups of chocolate chips to a microwave safe bowl then heat on high for one minute. Stir then heat for an additional 45-60 seconds, stir until smooth. Pour melted chocolate onto prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula (or butter knife) to spread the chocolate evenly over the pan then immediately add pretzels.
