Peppermint White Chocolate Pretzels
Crunchy pretzels dipped in white chocolate and sprinkled with crushed candy canes. An addictive holiday treat!
Ingredients
- 9 oz bag of pretzels
- 1 11 ounce bag white baking chips
- 2 tsp vegetable oil or shortening
- 4 candy canes crushed
Instructions
- Place candy canes in a ziplock bag. Crush with a hammer or rolling pin till pieces are tiny. (Tip: I use a little strainer to separate the pieces from the peppermint "dust" that gets left behind. I save the dust to sprinkle in hot chocolate. Yummy!)
- Spread your pretzels out in a single layer on silicone liners or parchment paper.
- Place white chocolate and oil in a glass bowl. Melt in the microwave at 40-50% power, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
- Pour melted chocolate in a small ziplock bag and snip a tiny hole in the corner. Drizzle melted chocolate on pretzels, and sprinkle crushed candy canes over the top.
- Let sit till hardened. You can place in the fridge to speed up the process.
Notes
- I recommend drizzling chocolate on a few pretzels at a time so that you can add the candy bits before the chocolate sets.
- If you prefer, you can melt the white chocolate using a double boiler (or glass/metal bowl over a simmering pot of water). Remove from the heat and stir every 30 seconds; white chocolate is easy to burn.
