Ingredients
Scale
- 1 bag (10-12 oz) mini pretzels (or pretzel rods, twists, or sticks)
- 12 oz white chocolate chips (or white chocolate melting wafers)
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional, helps smooth the chocolate)
- Sprinkles, crushed candy canes, or colored sugar (optional, for decoration)
Instructions
Step 1: Melt the White Chocolate
- Microwave Method: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using) in 30-second intervals, stirring after each until smooth.
- Double Boiler Method: Heat water in a saucepan and place a heatproof bowl on top. Stir the white chocolate until it melts completely.
Step 2: Dip the Pretzels
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Using tongs or a fork, dip each pretzel into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it’s fully or partially coated.
- Tap off any excess chocolate and place on the parchment paper.
Step 3: Decorate & Set
- While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle on toppings like sprinkles, crushed peppermint, or drizzle with dark chocolate.
- Let the pretzels sit at room temperature for 30-60 minutes, or speed up the process by placing them in the fridge for 15 minutes until set.
Step 4: Enjoy or Store
- Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks—if they last that long!
