How to Make Birthday Cake White Chocolate Pretzels
Step 1: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place your pretzels in a single layer. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips with coconut oil in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
Step 2: Dip each pretzel into the melted chocolate, letting the excess chocolate drip off, then place on the parchment. Immediately top with sprinkles before the chocolate sets. Let harden at room temperature or place in the fridge to speed up the process.
Recipe tips
- White chocolate is delicate. Microwave in 30-second intervals and stir often to prevent burning or seizing.
- If the chocolate has started to set, the sprinkles won’t adhere. Sprinkle one pretzel at a time right after it has been dipped.
FAQs
Yes! These are great for parties and can be made up to 2 days ahead. Store in an airtight container or ziplock bag.
Look for dairy-free white chocolate chips that melt smoothly, such as Enjoy Life or King David brands.
Yes, but coconut oil helps thin the chocolate for easier dipping. If you skip it, melt your chocolate slowly and stir well.
Make sure to add sprinkles immediately after dipping each pretzel while the chocolate is still wet.
