Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper
  • Microwave Safe Bowl

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces white chocolate melts
  • 24 pretzel rods
  • Christmas sprinkles

Instructions

  • Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper to use later.
  • Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each, until smooth.
  • Dip the pretzels into the melted chocolate, gently tapping the edge of the bowl to remove any excess. Place the pretzel rods on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Decorate with Christmas sprinkles while the chocolate is still wet so they stick.
  • Let the chocolate set completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator before serving.

Notes

  • Don't Overheat the Chocolate: Microwave in short intervals and stir well each time. Once only a few small pieces remain, continue stirring and let the heat melt them.
  • Decorate Right Away: Add the Christmas sprinkles before the chocolate coating begins to set so they stick.
  • Let the Excess Drip Off: Gently shake or tap each pretzel after dipping to prevent excess chocolate from pooling.
  • Work in Batches: Dip and decorate a few pretzel rods at a time so you aren't racing against the chocolate as it sets.
  • Transfer the Chocolate: Pour the melted chocolate into a tall, narrow glass or cup to make it easier to coat more of each pretzel rod.
  • Room Temperature: Store the pretzel rods in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to 1 week.
  • Refrigerator: You can refrigerate them to help the chocolate set, but I prefer to store them at room temperature, so the pretzels stay crisp.
  • Gifting: Once completely set, package them in cellophane bags or holiday treat boxes for an easy homemade gift.
