Quick and Easy White Chocolate Pretzel Wreaths
Your kids will love making these quick and easy white chocolate pretzel wreaths to celebrate the festive season! No baking required. Plus, you likely have all of the ingredients handy! With their crunchy, salty pretzels, creamy, sweet white chocolate and colourful sprinkles, they’ll add joy to snacktime.
Ingredients
- 60 to 80 mini-pretzels
- 1 1/2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 1/2 teaspoons coconut oil
- 3 tablespoons pistachios finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Christmas coloured sprinkles
- 5 pieces red shoestring licorice also called Pull ‘n’ Peel Cherry Candy
Instructions
- In a small, shallow bowl, melt the chocolate in 20 second increments (I use 50% power), stirring between each increment, until melted. Finely chop the pistachios.
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment, and place 6 to 8 pretzels in a circle (using fewer will create a smaller wreath, more will create a larger one!), double loops facing out, sides touching. Now, remove and dip one pretzel in the melted white chocolate (don’t shake off that excess chocolate!), and return it to its place in the circle. Continue with the remaining pretzels in the circle.
- Next, one at a time, dip 6 to 8 more pretzels and stagger them on top of the first layer. Sprinkle with chopped pistachios and sprinkles, then add a shoestring licorice bow.
- Continue with the remaining pretzels, until you have finished all 5 wreaths.
- Freeze for 10 minutes, then enjoy!
Notes
You can move the coated pretzels around a bit to adjust the circle shape, no need to get fussy with them while dipping.
The more chocolate that stays on the pretzel, the prettier the wreaths are, so don’t tap off that extra deliciousness!
If your white chocolate starts to firm up, simply microwave it for 15 to 20 seconds and stir.
I add a tiny dollop of melted chocolate to the space where I place the bow to give it even more staying power.
