Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 10 oz mini pretzels twists or snaps
  • 12 oz white chocolate melting wafers or high-quality white chocolate, chopped
  • 1/2 cup crushed peppermint candies from about 10 candy canes

Equipment

  • 2 Baking sheets
  • Parchment Paper
  • 1 Microwave-safe bowl

Method
 

  1. Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper. Place the crushed peppermint candies in a small bowl.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and fully melted.
  3. Dip each pretzel into the melted white chocolate, coating it completely or partially. Use a fork to lift it out, allowing excess chocolate to drip off.
  4. Place the chocolate-covered pretzel on the prepared baking sheet and immediately sprinkle with the crushed peppermint candies.
  5. Let the pretzels set at room temperature (about 1 hour) or in the refrigerator (15-20 minutes) until the chocolate is firm. Store in an airtight container.

Notes

For best results, use high-quality melting wafers instead of white chocolate chips, as they melt much more smoothly.
If your white chocolate becomes too thick, stir in 1/2 teaspoon of coconut oil or vegetable shortening to loosen it.
Store in a cool, dry place to prevent the chocolate from getting soft.
