Ingredients
Ingredients
- Melted white chocolate – 8 ounces
- Food coloring (optional) – as desired
- Pretzel sticks – 12 rods
- Holiday sprinkles – 1/4 cup
- Parchment paper – enough to line a baking sheet
Instructions
- Prepare baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the pretzels from sticking while the chocolate sets.
- Melt chocolate: Place white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until completely melted and smooth.
- Optional coloring: If desired, divide melted chocolate into small bowls and add food coloring to tint the chocolate in festive colors. Stir well to combine.
- Dip pretzels: Dip each pretzel rod about halfway into the melted chocolate. Gently shake off any excess chocolate to avoid drips.
- Decorate: Lay the dipped pretzels on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Immediately sprinkle with holiday sprinkles before the chocolate sets.
- Set chocolate: Let the pretzels sit at room temperature until the chocolate hardens, or refrigerate for about 15-20 minutes to speed up the process.
Notes
- For a colorful twist, use different food coloring to create multiple chocolate colors.
- Store pretzel rods in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- If you prefer, use dark or milk chocolate as an alternative to white chocolate.
- Sprinkles can be substituted with crushed candy canes or chopped nuts for varied textures.
