Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 8 oz white chocolate chopped, high-quality
- 24 pretzel twists

Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Place the chopped white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until completely melted and smooth. Alternatively, melt using a double boiler.
- If desired, stir in vanilla extract and/or butter for enhanced flavor and smoothness.
- Hold each pretzel by one end and dip into the melted white chocolate, coating as much as desired.
- Allow excess chocolate to drip off, then place the coated pretzel on the prepared baking sheet.
- If using toppings, sprinkle them onto the chocolate while still wet.
- Allow pretzels to set at room temperature for a few minutes, then transfer to the refrigerator for about 15 minutes until the chocolate is completely set.
- Once set, transfer to an airtight container for storage or arrange on a serving platter.
Notes
For the best results, use high-quality white chocolate with real cocoa butter. If the chocolate begins to thicken while dipping, reheat in 10-second intervals.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
For holiday variations, add seasonal sprinkles, crushed candy canes, or colored sugar.
