Description

Delightfully festive and easy-to-make Snowflake Pretzels are coated in smooth white chocolate and decorated with sprinkles to create a charming winter treat. Perfect for holiday gatherings or as sweet gifts, these pretzels can also be transformed into lollipops for a fun twist.

Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Coating

  • 200g white chocolate chips for cooking or white candy melts
  • 50g extra white chocolate (optional, for lollipops)

Pretzels and Decoration

  • 32 mini pretzels (about 45g)
  • White or silver sprinkles
  • 8 paper lolly sticks (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Work Surface: Line a baking tray with a sheet of baking parchment or a non-stick tray liner to ensure the pretzels do not stick after dipping.
  2. Melt the Chocolate: Carefully melt the 200g of white chocolate chips or candy melts either in the microwave in short bursts to prevent burning, or place the chocolate in a bowl over a pan of simmering water, making sure no water touches the chocolate. Once melted, remove from heat but keep the bowl over the warm water.
  3. First Dip: Add the mini pretzels to the melted chocolate, stirring well to coat. Using a fork, lift each pretzel out and gently shake to remove excess chocolate, then place on the prepared tray. Freeze for 5 minutes to set the chocolate.
  4. Second Dip and Shape Snowflakes: Dip the pretzels in chocolate again for a thicker coating. Then, arrange four pretzels at a time on the tray with the pointed ends meeting in the center to form a snowflake shape. Use the end of a teaspoon to add a small blob of chocolate in the center to stick them together.
  5. Decorate: Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle white or silver sprinkles onto the snowflakes for a festive touch. Allow them to set completely in a cool place or freeze to speed up the process.
  6. Optional Lollipops: Melt the extra 50g of white chocolate using the same method. On non-stick liner, make eight small blobs about the size of a 1p coin. Insert a paper lolly stick into each blob and press a formed pretzel snowflake gently on top. Let the lollipops set in a cool place until firm.
  7. Storage: Store the snowflake pretzels or lollipops in a cool place for up to one to two days.

Notes

  • Ensure no water gets into the chocolate during melting to avoid seizing.
  • Use mini pretzels for the best snowflake shape and even coating.
  • If chocolate begins to harden, gently rewarm before dipping.
  • For a more festive look, try colored sprinkles or edible glitter.
  • Keep the treats in a cool environment to prevent melting.
