Ingredients
- 33 grams Swiss white chocolate bar 10 squares, unwrapped
- 10 pieces salted mini pretzels
- 1 ½ tablespoons violet sprinkles
- 20 pieces small candy eyes
OPTIONAL:
- ¼ to ½ teaspoon coconut oil for melting white chocolate
Instructions
- Chop the white chocolate bar into squares or bite-size pieces and transfer to a metal bowl.
- In a small saucepan, bring water to a rolling boil, then reduce the heat to low. Place the bowl with chopped white chocolate over the saucepan. Once the bowl is heated, start stirring with a silicone spatula.
- After 15 minutes over low heat, the white chocolate will start to become creamy, continue stirring and scraping the sides for 5 minutes. Drizzle oil, if using.
- Turn off the heat and continue stirring until smooth and creamy, about 10 to 15 minutes, using the residual heat of the boiled water.
- Once the white chocolate is smooth and creamy, spoon a tablespoon onto the spatula and coat the pretzels one at a time. Place on a plate with parchment paper, white chocolate side up and add sprinkles all over each pretzel.
- Spread a dot of melted white chocolate on each candy eye, then press 2 pieces onto each sprinkle-coated pretzel.
- Let the white chocolate, sprinkles, and candy eyes set for 5 to 10 minutes. Alternatively, chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes and enjoy.
Notes
Melting a chopped white chocolate bar over a double boiler is not as quick as melting milk chocolate. Be patient and keep stirring.
Do not remove the melted white chocolate from the metal bowl over the saucepan with boiled (and simmered) water while working on the pretzels.
If the melted white chocolate starts to thicken, stir continuously over the saucepan.
Adding some oil is optional but helpful and recommended when melting the white chocolates.
Avoid the metal bowl from touching the boiling or simmering water. If your metal bowl is smaller than the saucepan, add a small metal bowl or pan to act as a stand for the metal bowl with the chopped white chocolates.
Avoid boiling water from splashing into the chopped white chocolates.
After pressing each candy eye on the sprinkles, wipe your hands clean. This will avoid the sprinkles from accidentally sticking to your hands and sticking to other areas.
Use green or orange sprinkles for Halloween-themed alternatives.
Makes 10 pieces of white chocolate covered monster pretzels with 5 pieces per serving.
