Ingredients
  

For the pretzels
  • 12 pretzel rods
For the coating
  • 1 bag (12 oz) white chocolate melting wafers
For the topping
  • 0.33 cup peppermint candies crushed

Equipment

  • 1 rimmed baking sheet
  • 1 tall microwave-safe container
  • 1 microwave

Method
 

Prepare the pretzels
  1. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
Melt the coating
  1. Place the white chocolate melting wafers in a tall, microwave-safe container and microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
Dip and decorate
  1. Dip each pretzel rod about two-thirds of the way into the melted wafers, turning to coat, then let excess coating drip back into the container.
  2. Lay each rod on the prepared baking sheet and immediately sprinkle with crushed peppermint candies.
  3. Refrigerate the rods for 10 to 15 minutes, until the coating is firm.

Notes

For an even coating, use a container tall enough to dip the rods and sprinkle the peppermint immediately before the coating sets. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week; freezing is not recommended. For a dairy-free option, use dairy-free white chocolate melting wafers.
