Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 2 cups pretzel crisps (use your favorite brand or flavor)
Coating
- 12 ounces white chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (helps to thin the chocolate for easier coating)
Topping
- ½ cup crushed peppermint candies
- Pinch of sea salt (optional, for a balanced flavor)
Instructions
- Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the pretzel crisps from sticking and to make cleanup easier.
- Melt the White Chocolate: 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.
- Coat the Pretzel Crisps: Dip each pretzel crisp into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Use a fork to lift it out, letting excess chocolate drip off. Place the coated pretzels on the prepared baking sheet.
- Add Crushed Peppermint: While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle the tops with crushed peppermint candies to add flavor and a festive look.
- Chill to Set: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes or until the chocolate has completely set.
Notes
- Use good quality white chocolate for a smoother melting experience and better flavor.
- Vegetable oil helps to thin the white chocolate, making it easier to coat the pretzels evenly.
- You can swap crushed peppermint candies for other festive toppings such as crushed candy canes or colored sprinkles.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in a cool place or refrigerate to keep the chocolate from melting.
- Adding a pinch of sea salt enhances the flavor by balancing the sweetness with a subtle salty note.
