Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 10 ounces Round Pretzel Crisps (283g)
  • 12 ounces High-Quality White Chocolate Wafers or Bars (340g), chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Coconut Oil or Vegetable Shortening (5ml)
  • 1/2 cup Crushed Peppermint Candies or Candy Canes (75g)
  • 2 tablespoons Sparkling Sugar Crystals (Sanding Sugar) (30g)

Equipment

  • 2 Baking sheets
  • Parchment Paper
  • 1 Microwave-safe bowl

Method
 

  1. Line two large baking sheets with parchment or wax paper. Place crushed peppermint candies and sparkling sugar in separate small bowls.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate wafers and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly after each, until the chocolate is about 90% melted. Continue stirring until completely smooth and glossy.
  3. Drop one pretzel crisp at a time into the melted chocolate. Use a fork to lift it out, allowing the excess chocolate to drip off by tapping the fork against the side of the bowl.
  4. Place the coated pretzel on the prepared baking sheet. Immediately and generously sprinkle with crushed peppermint and sparkling sugar. Repeat with the remaining pretzels.
  5. Let the pretzels set at room temperature for 1-2 hours, or in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes, until the chocolate is firm.

Notes

Avoid Seizing Chocolate: Ensure no water comes into contact with your melting chocolate, as it will cause it to seize.
Don't Overheat: Use short microwave bursts and stir frequently for the smoothest results.
Work Quickly: Have toppings ready before you start dipping, as the chocolate sets quickly.
Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
