Ingredients
- Mini pretzels
- White chocolate or milk chocolate melting wafers
- Pastel-colored candy melts
- Easter-themed sprinkles
- Mini candy-coated chocolates (such as M&Ms or mini eggs)
- Optional: Colored sanding sugar or crushed candy
Instructions
- Prepare the workspace – Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
- Melt the chocolate – In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white or milk chocolate in 20-second intervals, stirring between each session until smooth.
- Dip the pretzels – Using a fork or dipping tool, coat each mini pretzel in melted chocolate, shaking off any excess.
- Arrange on a baking sheet – Place the chocolate-covered pretzels on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not touch.
- Decorate immediately – While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle with Easter-themed sprinkles, colored sanding sugar, or mini candy-coated chocolates.
- Melt pastel-colored candy melts – In a separate bowl, melt pastel-colored candy melts and drizzle over the pretzels for an extra decorative touch.
- Let them set – Allow the pretzels to cool and harden at room temperature or place them in the refrigerator for quicker setting.
- Store or serve – Once fully set, transfer to an airtight container or serve immediately.
Notes
- Dark Chocolate Twist – Use dark chocolate for a richer flavor contrast.
- Nutty Delight – Add a sprinkle of crushed nuts for extra crunch.
- Drizzle Effect – Use multiple colors of candy melts to create a more festive design.
- Sprinkle Variety – Try different sprinkle shapes, from bunnies to flowers, to match the Easter theme.
- Stuffed Pretzels – Sandwich mini pretzels with a caramel or peanut butter filling before dipping in chocolate.
