Description
A quick, easy, and hilariously named no-bake holiday treat featuring crunchy pretzels coated in sweet white chocolate and festive sprinkles.
Ingredients
5 cups mini pretzel twists or pretzel sticks, lightly crushed
12 ounces good quality white chocolate (chips, melting wafers, or chopped bar)
1 teaspoon shortening or coconut oil (optional, for smoother melting)
2-3 tablespoons festive holiday sprinkles
Instructions
Step 1: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
Step 2: Place the white chocolate and shortening (if using) in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 30-second intervals, stirring well after each, until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted. Be careful not to overheat.
Step 3: Add the lightly crushed pretzels to the melted white chocolate. Stir gently with a rubber spatula until the pretzels are evenly coated.
Step 4: Drop spoonfuls of the coated pretzel mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming small clusters. Don't worry about perfect shapes – irregular is part of the charm!
Step 5: Immediately sprinkle generously with holiday sprinkles while the chocolate is still wet.
Step 6: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes, or until the white chocolate is completely set and hardened. Once firm, break the clusters apart if they've merged.
Notes
For best results, use good quality white chocolate. If your chocolate is too thick after melting, add another 1/2 teaspoon of shortening or coconut oil and stir until smooth. You can also add a few drops of food coloring to tint the white chocolate if desired!
