  • 1 cup small pretzel twists
  • 1 cup chocolate chips milk or dark chocolate
  • 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 1/4 cup crushed peppermint candies or sprinkles for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Pretzels: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Arrange pretzels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. Add the peppermint extract and mix well.
  • Dip the Pretzels: Using a fork, dip each pretzel into the melted chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off. Place the coated pretzels back onto the baking sheet.
  • Garnish: Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle crushed peppermint candies or sprinkles on top. For an extra touch, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt.
  • Cool and Serve: Let the pretzel bites cool at room temperature or place them in the fridge for faster setting. Once the chocolate is firm, enjoy your delicious treats!
