Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- Bite-sized pretzels (about 4 cups)
- White chocolate chips or melts (8 ounces)
Optional Toppings
- Sprinkles
- Crushed nuts (almonds, pecans, peanuts)
- Sea salt
- Dried fruit pieces
For Preparation
- Nonstick spray or parchment paper
Instructions
- Prepare Your Workspace: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to place the dipped pretzels. Arrange pretzels, white chocolate, and any toppings nearby for easy access.
- Melt the White Chocolate: Place white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-30 second intervals, stirring between each until smooth and creamy. Avoid overheating to prevent seizing or burning.
- Dip the Pretzels: Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each pretzel halfway into the melted white chocolate. Allow excess to drip off before laying pretzels on the prepared baking sheet, achieving a contrast between pretzel and chocolate.
- Add Toppings (Optional): While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle toppings of your choice over the dipped pretzels for added flavor, texture, and visual appeal.
- Let Them Set: Let the white chocolate pretzels cool and harden completely at room temperature, or place them in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to speed up setting.
Notes
- Use high-quality white chocolate for the best melting results and flavor.
- Melt the chocolate slowly and stir often to avoid burning or clumping.
- Ensure chocolate is at room temperature for an even dip and smooth coating.
- Add toppings immediately after dipping so they adhere properly.
- Store pretzels in an airtight container to maintain freshness and crunch.
