🥘Ingredients

For the Pretzels

12 ounces white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate
4 cups mini pretzels or pretzel twists
Optional toppings: sprinkles, crushed candy canes, sea salt, or chopped nuts

👨‍🍳Directions

1Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.
2Place the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals at 50% power, stirring well after each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
3Alternatively, melt the white chocolate in a double boiler over simmering water, stirring constantly until fully melted and smooth.
4Working in batches, drop a handful of pretzels into the melted white chocolate and stir gently with a spatula until each pretzel is evenly coated.
5Use a fork or dipping tool to lift each pretzel out of the chocolate, allowing any excess to drip back into the bowl.
6Place the coated pretzels in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
7While the white chocolate is still wet, sprinkle your desired toppings over the pretzels, such as colorful sprinkles, crushed candy canes, flaky sea salt, or finely chopped nuts.
8Press the toppings gently into the chocolate so they adhere.
9Allow the pretzels to set at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or until the white chocolate is firm and no longer sticky.
10Once set, carefully peel the pretzels off the parchment paper and transfer them to an airtight container.
11Store the white chocolate pretzels at room temperature in a cool, dry place for up to one week.
12For best texture, avoid refrigerating as condensation may cause the chocolate to bloom.

📝Notes

For a smoother coating, use high-quality white chocolate bars or chips that contain cocoa butter. If the white chocolate thickens while dipping, reheat it gently in the microwave for 10 seconds. You can also drizzle melted dark chocolate over the set white chocolate pretzels for a marbled effect.
