Common Questions

→ Which type of chocolate works best?
Go for white chocolate melts, candy wafers, or almond bark. Regular chocolate chips don’t coat well, so skip those.
→ How long will these last?
Keep them in a sealed container at room temperature, and they’ll be good for up to two weeks.
→ Can white chocolate be dyed a different color?
Sure! Use oil-based or powder food coloring. Avoid liquid dyes since they can mess up the consistency.
→ How should I wrap these up for gifts?
Try using clear treat bags or stack them in plastic wrap. It keeps them fresh and makes them look neat.
→ Why is chilling important between layers?
Cooling the chocolate quickly sets it, making it firm for adding extra decorations.

Output: 48 Portions (Makes 48 decorated pretzels)

Diet Types: Plant-Based (with dairy/eggs)

What You'll Need

→ Main Ingredients

01 1 cup of white chocolate wafers, ready to melt
02 1 cup of dark chocolate wafers, ready to melt
03 48 small pretzel pieces or twists

→ Sheep Decorations

04 24 edible eyes, each about 3/16 inch in size
05 3 tablespoons of white sprinkle dots (like nonpareils)

→ Bunny Toppings

06 24 tiny dark-colored sprinkle dots (like black or blue)
07 12 small heart sprinkles in pink

→ Extra Toppings

08 2 tablespoons of pastel-colored sprinkle mix

Preparation Steps

01 Step

Put the chocolate wafers in a microwave-friendly bowl. Heat on 50% power for about one or two minutes, stirring until it's smooth. If it’s not completely melted, heat for 15 extra seconds at a time. Pour the melted chocolate into a ziplock and snip a small corner off to make a simple piping tool.

02 Step

Coat individual pretzel pieces in white chocolate and shake off any extra. Let them chill in the fridge until firm. Add a bunny face by using the white chocolate to pipe facial details. Stick on sprinkles for eyes and a pink heart for the nose. Use a food-grade marker to sketch whiskers.

03 Step

Dip pretzels in white chocolate and sprinkle them quickly with white nonpareils before the chocolate hardens. Let set completely in the fridge. Add sheep faces and ears using dark chocolate as the piping material, then pop the edible eyes into place.

04 Step

Dunk pretzel pieces into the melted dark chocolate and sprinkle decorations right away. Or, let the coated pretzels cool first, then drizzle over them more melted white chocolate in fun patterns or colors.

  1. You can keep these stored in a sealed container for up to two weeks at room temperature.
