Ingredients

10 Pretzel Sticks
1 10 oz bag White Chocolate Chips
6 1 oz Candy Canes

Instructions

For the candy coating

Heat WHITE CHOCOLATE CHIPS in a microwave-safe container on medium power at 30-50 second intervals until chocolate is melted and smooth; stir as needed between.
Note: If chocolate gets overheated and seizes (clumps form), stir in 1 tps neutral-flavored oil and reheat in small intervals, stirring as needed until chocolate becomes smooth again.

For the candy cane

Lay CANDY CANE on a baking sheet; using the bumpy side of a tenderizer, gently crack and crush into small, mixed-sized pieces.

Coat the pretzels

Dunk a PRETZEL STICK into melted chocolate. Pull upward and twist the pretzel, resting it against the side of the jar to remove excess chocolate and create an evenly coated layer.
Immediately dust the candy-coated pretzel with peppermint before it sets; lay on a baking sheet; repeat this process with each pretzel.
Allow the coated pretzels to set up at room temperature for 20 minutes. You can refrigerate them for 5 minutes to solidify the chocolate more quickly.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 1 week.
