Equipment

  • Tray

Ingredients
  

  • 60 gluten free mini pretzels can use regular mini pretzels
  • 1 cup melting chocolate
  • 4 drops peppermint essential oil see notes for extract amount
  • sprinkles optional

Instructions
 

  • Layout the mini pretzels on a tray lined with parchment paper (to prevent sticking)
  • Add dark chocolate to a microwave safe bowl and microwave in 30 second increments. Stir each increment until completely melted. Should be between 1 to 2 minutes, depending on the kind of chocolate.
  • Add peppermint essential oil to the melted chocolate and stir
  • Either dip one side of the pretzel in the melted chocolate and lay back on the parchment paper to cool. Or use a fork to dip and coat the entire pretzel and place back on the parchment paper
  • Before the chocolate cools, pour sprinkles or crushed candy canes over the chocolate covered pretzels.
  • Place in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to set!

Notes

  1. can use regular mini pretzels
  2. any baking chocolate will work - I used Hu Gems
  3. if you want to use peppermint extract instead, use 3/4 teaspoon
