What are Chocolate Covered Pretzels?
Chocolate covered pretzels are delicious little treats with the perfect combination of sweet and salty flavors. These holiday pretzels are made easy by simply using mini pretzels, dipping them in chocolate, and then covering them in festive crushed candy canes.
How to Make White Chocolate Peppermint Pretzels

Ingredients
- Mini pretzels – bite-sized pretzels are perfectly salty and add a satisfying crunch to any snack mix.
- White candy melts – these smooth, creamy morsels melt down beautifully and provide a blank canvas for creating delicious treats.
- Peppermint candy canes, crushed – crushed candy canes pack a refreshing punch of minty flavor and bring a festive touch to any dessert.
Tip: Pretzel rods, large pretzels, pretzel twists, pretzel sticks, or square pretzels can be used instead of mini ones.
Instructions
1. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate wafers at 15 second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely smooth.
2. Dip the pretzels into the chocolate, letting the excess dip off, and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
3. Sprinkle the candy cane bits over the melted chocolate before it cools and hardens.
4. Place the coated pretzels in the fridge and allow the chocolate to harden completely before serving.
Tips for Making These Christmas Treats
- Use candy melts for best results, as the wafer chocolate melts the best. Add one teaspoon of coconut oil or cocoa butter to other chocolate to help it melt and pour better.
- Instead of a microwave, use a double boiler or a glass bowl over simmering water to melt chocolate evenly without burning it.
- Use a fork to lift the pretzels out of the chocolate for a clean coat and to avoid sticky fingers.
- Lay the chocolate covered treat on a parchment-lined baking sheet for easy moving and transporting before the chocolate has hardened.
- Place the chocolate in the fridge or freezer to completely cool before serving.
I am a huge fan of anything that includes peppermint and chocolate. Add the salty goodness of pretzels and we have a real winner. The white chocolate and crushed candy canes add a lovely, festive feel to all of my plated cookie and bar trays during the holiday season.
How Long Do Chocolate Dipped Pretzels Last?
Store these yummy treats in a large freezer bag or airtight container for up to one month at room temperature. They can also be stored in the fridge to prevent the chocolate from melting or in the freezer for months.
