Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • - 24 mini pretzels or 12 pretzel rods
  • - 1½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • - ½ cup white chocolate chips
  • - 1 teaspoon coconut oil optional
  • - ¼ cup blue and white holiday sprinkles
  • - 2 tablespoons gold sugar sprinkles
  • - 2 tablespoons crushed blue candy pieces
  • - Edible gold star decorations optional

Method
 

Instructions
    Prepare the Pretzels
    1. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the pretzels nearby so they are ready for dipping.
    Melt the Chocolate
    1. Place the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each interval until completely smooth. Add coconut oil if needed for a thinner consistency.
    Dip the Pretzels
    1. Dip each pretzel halfway into the melted chocolate. Use a fork to lift it out, allowing excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl. Place the coated pretzels onto the prepared baking sheet.
    Add the White Chocolate
    1. Melt the white chocolate chips in a separate microwave-safe bowl using 15–20-second intervals. Stir until smooth.
    Decorate for Hanukkah
    1. Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the dipped pretzels. Immediately sprinkle with blue, white, and gold sprinkles, crushed candy pieces, and edible gold stars.
    Let Them Set
    1. Refrigerate the pretzels for approximately 25–30 minutes, or until the chocolate has completely hardened.
    Serve and Enjoy
    1. Transfer the finished pretzels to a festive serving platter. Arrange them in small bowls or package them in decorative holiday bags for gifting.
