Chocolate Coated Christmas Pretzels
Christmas pretzels are a holiday favorite! They are made by coating pretzels in candy coating and then sprinkling crushed candy canes on top. The result is a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for Christmas parties and gifts. Christmas pretzels are fun to make and even more fun to eat!
Ingredients
- 10 ounces candy coating
- 40 mini pretzels
- 1 tablespoon crisco
- 10 mini candy canes crushed
Instructions
- Begin by crushing the candy canes into small pieces. You can use a food processor or place them in a plastic bag and bash them with a rolling pin.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the candy coating or white chocolate in 30 second increments, stirring between each interval, until it's smooth and creamy.
- When the chocolate is nearly melted, add 1 tablespoon of crisco shortening and stir to combine.
- Dip each pretzel into the melted chocolate, making sure to coat it completely. Place them on parchment paper, a silicone baking mat, or a wire rack as you go.
- Sprinkle the crushed candy canes over top of each pretzel before the chocolate has a chance to harden.
- Place the dipped pretzels in the fridge to set for at least 30 minutes before serving.
