White Chocolate Peppermint Pretzel Crisps Recipe

Introduction

White Chocolate Peppermint Pretzel Crisps are a perfect sweet and salty treat, combining the crunch of pretzels with creamy white chocolate and refreshing peppermint. They’re easy to make and ideal for holiday gatherings or anytime you want a festive snack.

Ingredients

• 2 cups pretzel crisps: Use your favorite brand or flavor.
• 12 ounces white chocolate chips: For coating.
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil: Helps to thin the chocolate for easier coating.
• ½ cup crushed peppermint candies: For topping and added flavor.
• Pinch of sea salt: Optional, for a balanced flavor.

Instructions

1. Step 1: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
2. Step 2: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips and vegetable oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
3. Step 3: Dip each pretzel crisp into the melted white chocolate, coating it completely. Lift out with a fork and let any excess chocolate drip off. Place coated pretzels on the prepared baking sheet.
4. Step 4: While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle the tops with crushed peppermint candies for flavor and a festive touch.
5. Step 5: Chill the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes or until the chocolate has fully set.

Tips & Variations

• Use good quality white chocolate for a smoother texture and richer flavor.
• Try adding a pinch of sea salt on top to enhance the sweet and salty balance.
• For a colorful twist, mix red and green crushed peppermint candies during the holidays.

Storage

Store the pretzel crisps in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. Keep them away from heat or direct sunlight to prevent melting. If the chocolate softens, simply chill again before serving.

FAQs

Can I use dark or milk chocolate instead of white chocolate?
