Ingredients
- 12 pieces Pretzel rods
- 1.5 cups White chocolate chips or melting wafers
- 0.5 cups Crushed peppermint candy or candy canes
- 1 teaspoons Vegetable oil (optional)
- 1 sheet Parchment or wax paper
Directions
Step 1
Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment or wax paper to prevent sticking.
Step 2
Place the white chocolate chips or melting wafers in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 15-20 second intervals, stirring in between, until completely melted and smooth. If the chocolate seems too thick, stir in 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil to thin it out.
Step 3
Hold a pretzel rod by one end and dip it two-thirds of the way into the melted white chocolate, turning it to coat evenly. Gently tap the pretzel on the side of the bowl to remove excess chocolate.
Step 4
While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle the crushed peppermint candy over the coated portion of the pretzel. Rotate the pretzel to ensure even coverage.
Step 5
Place the coated pretzel rod on the prepared parchment or wax paper. Repeat with the remaining pretzel rods.
Step 6
Allow the Peppermint Pretzel Canes to set completely at room temperature, approximately 15-20 minutes. If needed, you can transfer them to the refrigerator for faster setting.
Step 7
Once the chocolate has hardened, gently remove the finished pretzel canes from the parchment paper. Serve immediately, or store them in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
