Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 40 mini pretzel twists or rods
- 12 oz white chocolate or candy melts
- pastel food coloring or colored candy melts (pink, yellow, lavender, green)
- Easter-themed sprinkles
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother melting)
- parchment paper for drying
Instructions
- Prepare the Workspace: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Melt the Chocolate: Melt the white chocolate or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth. Optionally, add coconut oil for a glossier finish.
- Color the Chocolate: Divide the melted chocolate into smaller bowls and tint with pastel food coloring if desired.
- Dip the Pretzels: Dip pretzels one at a time into the melted chocolate, shake off excess, and place on the parchment-lined tray.
- Add Sprinkles: Immediately add sprinkles before the coating sets.
- Set the Pretzels: Let pretzels sit at room temperature until fully set, about 30–60 minutes, or refrigerate for 15 minutes for faster setting.
- Store: Store in an airtight container.
Notes
- Use a squeeze bottle or fork to drizzle different colored chocolate over dipped pretzels for extra decoration.
- These make great Easter gifts or party favors when packaged in cellophane bags with ribbon.
