Serves: 24 pretzel rods
Ingredients
- 24 pretzel rods
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup crushed cookies (like Oreos)
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and equipment: pretzel rods, white chocolate chips, crushed Oreo cookies, baking sheet, parchment paper, microwave-safe bowl, spatula, and cooling rack.
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for cooling and setting the chocolate-covered pretzels.
- Place white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and melt in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval to ensure smooth, even melting. Stop heating when chocolate is completely smooth and glossy.
- Hold each pretzel rod over the melted white chocolate and use a spatula to carefully coat the rod, rotating to ensure even coverage. Allow excess chocolate to drip off.
- Immediately sprinkle crushed Oreo cookie pieces over the wet chocolate, rotating the pretzel rod to cover all sides evenly.
- Gently place each coated pretzel rod on the prepared parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching each other.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the refrigerator and allow chocolate to set for approximately 10-15 minutes until firm and fully hardened.
- Once set, transfer pretzel rods to an airtight container. Store in a cool, dry place for up to 1 week.
Tips
- Chocolate Melting Magic: Use low, gentle heat when melting white chocolate to prevent burning. Stir frequently and remove from microwave just before fully melted.
- Even Coating Technique: Use a spatula to help evenly distribute chocolate and ensure complete pretzel rod coverage.
- Crumb Control: Crush Oreo cookies into fine, even pieces for the most aesthetically pleasing and consistent coating.
- Cooling is Key: Always let pretzels set in the refrigerator to achieve a perfect, glossy chocolate finish.
- Storage Tip: Store in an airtight container in a cool place to maintain maximum crunchiness and prevent chocolate from melting.
- Make Ahead: These pretzel rods can be prepared up to a week in advance, making them perfect for meal prep or party planning!
