Ingredients

40 small pretzels
1 250 g bag white chocolate chips
4 large peppermint candy canes, about 1/4 cup crushed

Instructions

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate wafers at 15 second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely smooth.
Dip the pretzels into the chocolate, letting the excess dip off, and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Sprinkle the candy cane bits over the melted chocolate before it cools and hardens.
Place the coated pretzels in the fridge and allow the chocolate to harden completely before serving.

Notes

Use candy melts for best results, as the wafer chocolate melts the best. Add 1 teaspoon of coconut oil, vegetable 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.
Swap in dark chocolate for a rich twist on the classic flavor combo.
Use a fork to lift the pretzels out of the chocolate for a clean coat and to keep your fingers clean.
Lay the chocolate covered pretzels on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet for easy moving before the chocolate has hardened.
Place the chocolate in the fridge or freezer to completely cool before serving.
Freeze for long-term storage, or keep them at room temperature for up to a month in an airtight container.
