Ingredients
  

  • 12 ounces white chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 2-3 cups Glutino Gluten-Free Pretzel Twists
  • Mini candy canes (crushed)
  • red sprinkles (optional)

Method
 

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. In a glass bowl set over a pot of boiling water (or a double boiler) add the white chocolate and coconut oil. Melt, stirring until smooth. Stir in the peppermint extract.
  3. Working with 1 pretzel at a time, add a pretzel to the white chocolate and use a fork to coat with the chocolate. Lift the pretzel out of the chocolate with the fork and tap any excess chocolate on the side of the bowl. Transfer to the baking sheet.
  4. Repeat with 2-3 more pretzels, then sprinkle with crushed candy canes before the chocolate sets. Top with sprinkles if desired.
  5. Let the chocolate cool completely for at least 30 minutes. Break the pretzels apart. Package up for gifts or enjoy right away!

Notes

- For the cleanest break, ensure the chocolate is completely set before handling. You can chill the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to speed this up.
- Don't rinse your pretzels; the slight saltiness perfectly balances the sweet white chocolate.
- Store leftover white chocolate pretzels in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. They can also be frozen for up to 1 month.
