Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Pretzel rods
- 1.5 cups White chocolate chips or melting wafers
- 0.5 cups Crushed peppermint candy or candy canes
- 1 teaspoons Vegetable oil (optional)
- 1 sheet Parchment or wax paper
Instructions
Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment or wax paper to prevent sticking.
Place the white chocolate chips or melting wafers in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 15-20 second intervals, stirring in between, until completely melted and smooth. If the chocolate seems too thick, stir in 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil to thin it out.
Hold a pretzel rod by one end and dip it two-thirds of the way into the melted white chocolate, turning it to coat evenly. Gently tap the pretzel on the side of the bowl to remove excess chocolate.
While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle the crushed peppermint candy over the coated portion of the pretzel. Rotate the pretzel to ensure even coverage.
Place the coated pretzel rod on the prepared parchment or wax paper. Repeat with the remaining pretzel rods.
Allow the Peppermint Pretzel Canes to set completely at room temperature, approximately 15-20 minutes. If needed, you can transfer them to the refrigerator for faster setting.
Once the chocolate has hardened, gently remove the finished pretzel canes from the parchment paper. Serve immediately, or store them in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
