Scale
Ingredients
- 2 cups mini pretzels
- 1 cup white chocolate chips or melting wafers
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
- 1/4 cup crushed pecans or cinnamon sugar (for topping)
Instructions
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips or melting wafers in 20-second intervals, stirring thoroughly after each burst until the chocolate is completely smooth and free of lumps.
- Add the Spice: Mix the pumpkin pie spice into the melted white chocolate until fully incorporated, ensuring an even distribution of warm autumnal flavors throughout the chocolate.
- Dip the Pretzels: Using tongs or a fork, carefully dip each mini pretzel halfway or fully into the spiced white chocolate, then gently shake off any excess coating to avoid clumps.
- Top It Off: Arrange the dipped pretzels on a sheet of parchment paper. Immediately sprinkle with your choice of crushed pecans or cinnamon sugar while the chocolate is still wet so the topping adheres well.
- Let Set: Allow the pretzels to cool at room temperature or place them in the refrigerator for 10 to 15 minutes until the chocolate hardens and the treats are firm to the touch.
Notes
- You can use either white chocolate chips or white melting wafers depending on availability; melting wafers often give a smoother finish.
- For a nut-free version, opt for cinnamon sugar as the topping instead of crushed pecans.
- Store the pretzels in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days to maintain their crunch.
- To easily melt the chocolate without scorching, use short microwave burst intervals and stir frequently.
- Feel free to customize the spice mix by adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for extra flavor depth.
