How to Make White Chocolate Covered Pretzels
1. Prepare Your Workspace
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper and set aside.
2. Melt the White Chocolate
Place white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 15–20 second intervals, stirring well between each, until melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat, as white chocolate can seize.
3. Dip the Pretzels
Dip pretzels into the melted white chocolate, coating them as much or as little as you like. Use a fork to lift them out, letting excess chocolate drip back into the bowl.
Place dipped pretzels onto the prepared parchment paper.
4. Decorate
Immediately add sprinkles or toppings before the chocolate sets. If drizzling with another chocolate, wait until the white chocolate is mostly set.
5. Set
Allow pretzels to sit at room temperature until the chocolate hardens, or place the tray in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes to speed things up.
Storage
Store white chocolate covered pretzels in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or in the refrigerator if your kitchen is warm.
Helpful Tips
