Ingredients
- 2 cups pretzel crisps (use your favorite brand or flavor)
- 12 ounces white chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- ½ cup crushed peppermint candies
- Pinch of sea salt (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and to make cleanup easier.
- Melt the White Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and vegetable oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate is melted completely and smooth.
- Coat the Pretzel Crisps: Dip each pretzel crisp into the melted white chocolate to fully coat it. Use a fork to lift it out and allow excess chocolate to drip off. Place the coated pretzels on the prepared baking sheet.
- Add Crushed Peppermint: Immediately sprinkle crushed peppermint candies over the chocolate-coated pretzels while the chocolate is still wet to ensure they stick and add a festive flavor.
- Chill to Set: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes or until the chocolate has completely hardened and set.
Notes
- Use good quality white chocolate chips for the best flavor and smooth coating.
- Vegetable oil helps thin the white chocolate for even coating; do not omit.
- For a saltier balance, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt on top along with the peppermint candies.
- Store leftover pretzel crisps in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
- To crush peppermint candies easily, place them in a sealed plastic bag and gently crush with a rolling pin or mallet.
