Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lay an even layer of pretzel sticks across the entire prepared baking sheet with pretzel sides touching; set aside.
Add butter, brown sugar, and salt to a small saucepan; bring to a boil. Continue boiling for 4-5 minutes while stirring frequently. When mixture thickens and darkens, remove from heat; stir in vanilla.
Pour mixture evenly over the pretzel sticks. Place baking sheet in the preheated oven for 5 minutes.
While the pretzel layer is baking, melt the chocolate in the microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring each time until smooth.
Remove baking sheet from oven; let cool 1 minute; pour melted chocolate evenly across the top of the pretzel layer. Add Christmas or holiday sprinkles, if desired.
