10or 12 oz bag gourmet Vanilla Milk Chips or White Melting Chocolate
3ozPeppermint Stick
Instructions
Prep steps (10 minutes):
Lay peppermint on a baking sheet; using the bumpy side of a tenderizer, gently crack and crush into small, mixed-sized pieces.
Heat vanilla milk chocolate chips in microwave-safe bowl on medium power at 30-50 second intervals until chocolate is melted with no lumps; stir as needed during intervals (alternatively, heat chocolate using double-boiler method).
Carefully pour melted chocolate into tall glass jar or cup.
To decorate pretzels (10-15 minutes):
Dunk pretzel sticks (one at a time) into melted chocolate; to remove without excess chocolate, rest it against the side of the jar and twist as you pull upward, leaving an evenly coated finish.
Immediately dust the chocolate-coated stick with peppermint pieces (before it sets) and lay finished stick on baking sheet; repeat this process with each stick.
Coating will naturally set within 30 minutes at room temperature. To speed this process, place baking sheet of coated pretzels in refrigerator for 10 minutes.
Store in airtight container at room temperature up to 1 week.
