Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients:
- 48 pretzel twists
- 1 cup (236 milliliters) white chocolate melting discs
- 1 cup (236 milliliters) dark chocolate melting discs
Sheep Decorations:
- 3 tablespoons white nonpareil sprinkles
- 24 candy eyes (3/16 inch size)
Bunny and Additional Decorations:
- 12 pink heart sprinkles
- 24 black or navy nonpareil sprinkles
- 2 tablespoons pastel sprinkles
Instructions
- Gently melt chocolate in microwave at 50% power for 1-2 minutes, stirring periodically until completely smooth. Transfer melted chocolate to a ziplock bag and carefully snip a small corner for precise piping.
- For rabbit-themed pretzels, immerse each pretzel in white chocolate, gently tap to remove excess, then refrigerate until fully set. Use piped white chocolate to create facial features, strategically place nonpareil eyes and heart-shaped nose. Complete the design by drawing delicate whiskers using a food coloring marker.
- Transform pretzels into adorable sheep by dipping them thoroughly in white chocolate, immediately coating with nonpareil sprinkles for a fluffy texture. After chilling, use dark chocolate to meticulously pipe facial details and distinctive ears. Enhance the design by adding cute candy eyes.
- Create versatile chocolate-covered pretzels by either immediately sprinkling decorative toppings onto dark chocolate-dipped pretzels or chilling first and then artfully drizzling with colorful white chocolate for added visual appeal.
Notes
- Chocolate Melting Master the art of gentle chocolate melting by using half power in the microwave to prevent burning and ensure smooth, glossy results.
- Piping Pro Snip a small corner of the ziplock bag for precise, controlled chocolate drizzling and detailed decorative designs.
- Sprinkle Strategy Press nonpareil sprinkles immediately after dipping while chocolate is still wet to ensure maximum adhesion and even coverage.
- Chilling Technique Allow chocolate-dipped pretzels to set completely in the refrigerator for a crisp, clean finish that prevents smudging and maintains intricate decorations.
