Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • Mini or small pretzels – about 3 cups
  • White chocolate chips or melting wafers – 10 oz (about 1 package)
  • Vegetable oil or coconut oil – 1 teaspoon

Optional Toppings and Variations

  • Sprinkles (colored or seasonal) – 1-2 tablespoons
  • Sea salt, flaky – 1 teaspoon
  • Crushed nuts (almonds, pecans, pistachios) – 2 tablespoons
  • Cayenne or chili powder (for spice) – a pinch

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Workspace: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to place the dipped pretzels on for cooling, keeping your workspace organized and mess-free.
  2. Melt the White Chocolate: Place white chocolate chips or melting wafers in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 20-second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each, until smooth and fully melted. Stir in 1 teaspoon of vegetable or coconut oil to achieve a creamy, easy-to-dip consistency.
  3. Dip the Pretzels: Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each pretzel halfway into the melted white chocolate, allowing the excess to drip back into the bowl. Arrange the coated pretzels in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Add Toppings: While the white chocolate coating is still wet, sprinkle your choice of toppings such as sea salt, sprinkles, or crushed nuts over the pretzels to add flavor and visual appeal.
  5. Let Them Set: Allow the pretzels to cool and harden at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or place them in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to speed up setting. Once the chocolate is firm, the pretzels are ready to serve or package.

Notes

  • Use high-quality white chocolate for a richer, smoother coating.
  • Heat chocolate in short intervals and stir often to prevent burning or seizing.
  • Adding oil improves chocolate smoothness and provides a glossy finish.
  • Work quickly to coat and sprinkle before the chocolate begins to firm up.
  • Store pretzels in an airtight container away from heat and humidity to maintain crunch.
