You wouldn't want to use Hershey's Chocolate Syrup to coat your pretzels. The chocolate wouldn't dry and "set up". You could just "dip" the pretzels in the Hershey's syrup for one bite at a time. You could melt some semi sweet "bakers chocolate" or Nestles Chocolate Chips like you use to bake chocolate chip cookies and coat the pretzels in this which would stick to the pretzels. Lay them on waxed paper to dry after dipping. Yes, definitely use salted pretzels. The sweet and salty taste is terrific! Whatever you decide to do, just have fun and enjoy!
