Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 10 oz mini pretzels (or pretzel rods)
- 8 oz high-quality white chocolate (bars or melting wafers)
- 1 tsp coconut oil or vegetable shortening
Optional Toppings
- Sprinkles
- Crushed candy canes
- Chopped pistachios
- Flake salt
Instructions
- Prepare baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and to make cleanup easier.
- Melt chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, melt the white chocolate together with the coconut oil, heating gradually until smooth and silky, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
- Dip pretzels: Dip each pretzel halfway or fully into the melted white chocolate, allowing any excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl to avoid thick clumps.
- Arrange pretzels: Place the coated pretzels on the parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them out so they don’t stick together.
- Add toppings: While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle your choice of toppings such as sprinkles, crushed candy canes, chopped pistachios, or a pinch of flake salt to add flavor and texture.
- Set chocolate: Let the pretzels sit at room temperature until the white chocolate has fully hardened and set, which typically takes about 30 minutes.
- Store: Once set, store the chocolate-covered pretzels in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain freshness for up to 10 days.
Notes
- Use high-quality white chocolate or melting wafers for the best smooth texture and flavor.
- The addition of coconut oil or vegetable shortening helps achieve a shiny, smooth chocolate coating.
- Customize toppings to suit your occasion or preferences for added flair and taste.
- If you prefer quicker setting, refrigerate the pretzels for about 15 minutes instead of room temperature.
- Store in a cool, dry place to avoid melting or stickiness.
