Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 pops
Ingredients
- 12 pretzel rods
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup green sprinkles
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 12 pretzel rods, 1 cup of chocolate chips, 1/2 cup of green sprinkles, 1/2 cup of white chocolate chips, and 1 tablespoon of coconut oil. Ensure you have a clean workspace and all necessary tools, including a microwave-safe bowl, parchment paper, and a baking sheet.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will be where you place your pretzel pops after coating them with chocolate.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the 1 cup of chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon of coconut oil. The coconut oil will help the chocolate melt smoothly and give it a nice sheen. Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. This should take about 1-2 minutes total.
- Once the chocolate is melted, take a pretzel rod and dip it into the melted chocolate. Use a spoon to help coat the pretzel evenly, ensuring that it is covered about halfway up the rod. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing it on the prepared baking sheet.
- While the chocolate is still wet, immediately sprinkle the green sprinkles over the coated area of the pretzel rod. Make sure to cover the chocolate well with the sprinkles to create a vibrant look.
- Repeat the dipping and sprinkling process with all 12 pretzel rods, placing each one on the parchment-lined baking sheet as you go. Once all pretzel rods are coated, set them aside to allow the chocolate to set.
- Next, in another microwave-safe bowl, combine the 1/2 cup of white chocolate chips with another tablespoon of coconut oil. Again, microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the white chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Once melted, take the pretzel pops and drizzle the white chocolate over each one to create a decorative pattern. You can use a spoon or a piping bag for more control over the drizzle.
- After drizzling, allow the white chocolate to set for a few minutes. If desired, you can place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to speed up the setting process.
- Once the chocolate is completely set, carefully remove the pretzel pops from the parchment paper. They are now ready to be served as a fun and festive snack for your football gathering!
- Enjoy your Football Snacks Pretzel Pops with friends and family while cheering for your favorite team!
Tips
- Prep Your Workspace: Before you start, make sure to have all your ingredients and tools ready. A clean workspace will help you stay organized and make the process smoother.
- Melt Chocolate with Care: When melting the chocolate, be patient and use short intervals in the microwave. Stirring in between will help prevent the chocolate from burning and ensure a silky-smooth consistency.
- Get Creative with Sprinkles: While green sprinkles are perfect for a football theme, feel free to mix it up! Use your favorite colors to match your team or occasion, or even try adding edible glitter for an extra festive touch.
- Drizzle with Precision: For a beautiful white chocolate drizzle, consider using a piping bag. This allows for more control and can create stunning designs on your pretzel pops.
- Chill for Quick Setting: If you're in a hurry, pop the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes after drizzling the white chocolate. This will speed up the setting process and keep your pretzel pops looking great.
- Serve with Style: Present your pretzel pops on a decorative platter or in a mason jar for a fun and appealing display that will impress your guests!
