Ingredients
Scale
12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother melting)
1 cup crushed candy canes
1 cup mini pretzels
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Melt the chocolate chips with coconut oil (if using) in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Alternatively, melt over a double boiler.
Dip each mini pretzel into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated.
Place the chocolate-covered pretzels on the prepared baking sheet.
Immediately sprinkle the crushed candy canes over the wet chocolate before it sets.
Allow the chocolate to harden completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes.
Once hardened, enjoy your festive treats!
Notes
For a smoother chocolate coating, add a tablespoon of coconut oil to the chocolate chips before melting.
You can use milk chocolate or dark chocolate chips if you prefer.
Ensure your pretzels are completely dry before dipping.
Crush the candy canes by placing them in a zip-top bag and gently tapping them with a rolling pin or mallet.
