3. 3
   Dip each pretzel rod into the melted chocolate, using a small spoon to help coat about three-quarters of the rod. Allow excess chocolate to drip off, then place the dipped pretzels on the parchment paper.

4. 4
   While the chocolate is still warm, sprinkle the chopped hazelnuts, pistachios, and medjool dates over the pretzel rods. Optionally drizzle additional melted chocolate on top if desired.
