White Chocolate Peppermint Pretzel Crisps Recipe

Introduction

White Chocolate Peppermint Pretzel Crisps are a delightful treat combining sweet, salty, and minty flavors in one crisp bite. Perfect for holiday gatherings or an indulgent snack, these easy-to-make crisps bring festive cheer with every crunch.

Ingredients

• 2 cups pretzel crisps: Use your favorite brand or flavor.
• 12 ounces white chocolate chips: For coating.
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil: Helps to thin the chocolate for easier coating.
• ½ cup crushed peppermint candies: For topping and added flavor.
• Pinch of sea salt: Optional, for a balanced flavor.

Instructions

1. Step 1: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
2. Step 2: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and vegetable oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
3. Step 3: Dip each pretzel crisp into the melted white chocolate, coating it completely. Use a fork to lift it out and let the excess chocolate drip off. Place the coated crisps on the prepared baking sheet.
4. Step 4: While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle the tops with crushed peppermint candies to add flavor and a festive touch.
5. Step 5: Refrigerate the baking sheet for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has completely set.

Tips & Variations

• For an extra touch, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top of the peppermint before chilling to enhance the flavor balance.
• If white chocolate chips are unavailable, use white almond bark as a substitute.
• Try adding a few drops of peppermint extract to the melted chocolate for a stronger mint flavor.

Storage

Store the peppermint pretzel crisps in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator, but bring to room temperature before serving to avoid condensation. These treats can also be frozen for up to one month; thaw fully before enjoying.

How to Serve

FAQs

Can I use regular pretzels instead of pretzel crisps?

Yes, regular pretzels work well, but the crisps provide a larger surface area and a crunchier texture that pairs nicely with the coating.

What if I don’t have peppermint candies?

You can substitute with crushed candy canes or skip the topping entirely, though the peppermint adds a festive flavor and texture that complements the sweet and salty base.
