Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces pretzel rods
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 0.5 cup chopped nuts (optional)
- 2 tablespoons sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
Lay a sheet of parchment paper on a large baking tray for easy cleanup.
Take each pretzel rod and spread a thin, even layer of peanut butter along one half of its length. Use a butter knife or small spatula for easier application.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the milk chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Dip the peanut butter-coated end of each pretzel rod into the melted chocolate, making sure it is fully covered but leaving a portion of the pretzel uncovered for easy handling.
Immediately sprinkle the dipped chocolate with mini marshmallows, chopped nuts, or sprinkles as desired, while the chocolate is still wet.
Place the completed Lincoln Logs onto the parchment-lined baking tray to set. Repeat the process until all pretzel rods are coated and decorated.
Allow the Lincoln Logs to sit at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes or until the chocolate hardens completely. If needed, place them in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to speed up the process.
Once the chocolate is fully set, serve the Lincoln Logs as a snack or dessert. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
