Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 bag (7.2 oz) thin pretzel crisps
  • 12 oz high-quality white chocolate chips, wafers, or chopped bar
  • 1/2 cup crushed peppermint candies about 8-10 candy canes

Equipment

  • zip-top bag
  • rolling pin or meat mallet
  • microwave-safe bowl (or double boiler)
  • baking sheet
  • parchment paper
  • silicone mat

Method
 

Instructions
  1. If using whole candy canes, crush them into small pieces using a rolling pin or meat mallet and set aside.
  2. Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals until smooth and creamy, or use a double boiler, being careful not to overheat.
  3. Dip each pretzel crisp halfway (or fully) into the melted white chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off.
  4. Immediately sprinkle the crushed peppermint generously over the chocolate-dipped portion of the pretzel crisp.
  5. Place the decorated pretzel crisps on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  6. Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes until the chocolate is completely set, or freeze for 5-10 minutes for a quicker set.
  7. Once firm, remove from the parchment paper and serve.

Notes

Ensure the white chocolate is high-quality for best melting and flavor. Avoid getting any water into the white chocolate when melting, as it can cause it to seize. Store leftover pretzel crisps in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week for optimal freshness and crunch.
