Ingredients
- 24 pieces pretzel twists (or rods)
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 2 teaspoons coconut oil
- 1 cup peppermint candies (crushed)
- 0.25 cup red and green sprinkles (optional)
- 1 sheet parchment paper
Directions
Step 1
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Step 2
Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 15-30 second increments, stirring after each interval, until smooth. Add 1 teaspoon of coconut oil to achieve a silky consistency.
Step 3
Repeat the melting process with the white chocolate chips in a separate bowl, adding the other teaspoon of coconut oil for smoothness.
Step 4
Dip half of each pretzel into the melted semi-sweet chocolate and place it on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 5
Use a spoon to drizzle melted white chocolate in a zigzag pattern over the dipped pretzels for a decorative touch.
Step 6
Sprinkle the crushed peppermint candies over the chocolate before it hardens. Add red and green sprinkles for extra color, if desired.
Step 7
Allow the pretzels to cool and the chocolate to set at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or speed up the process by refrigerating them for 10-15 minutes.
Step 8
Once the chocolate is fully hardened, transfer the pretzels to an airtight container for storage or serve immediately.
