Freeze until the chocolate sets for about three to five minutes.
Dip the un-coated part of the pretzels in dark or semi-sweet chocolate.
Set on a baking pan.
Dip one whole pretzel in dark chocolate and set it across the snowman where the white chocolate meets the dark or semi-sweet creating the brim of the hat.
Repeat however many times you want.
Freeze for a few minutes until they’ve hardened.
