Scale
Ingredients
- 80 mini marshmallows
- 40 pretzel sticks
- 16 oz white candy melting chips or white candy melts
Instructions
- Prepare baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
- Assemble pretzel bones: Push a mini marshmallow on each end of a pretzel stick to form the shape of a bone.
- Melt candy melts: Heat the white candy melting chips in the microwave for 45 seconds. Stir well, then repeat heating in 15-second intervals, stirring between each, until completely melted and smooth.
- First dip: Using a fork, dip each assembled pretzel bone into the melted white chocolate, fully coating it. Shake off excess coating gently and place the dipped bones on the prepared baking sheet.
- Chill first coat: Place the baking sheet with dipped bones into the refrigerator for 10 minutes to allow the coating to set.
- Trim excess chocolate (optional): Use a sharp knife to carefully trim any excess melted chocolate that ran off during dipping for a neater appearance.
- Remelt chocolate if needed: If the chocolate has thickened, heat it again in the microwave for 30 seconds and stir until smooth.
- Second dip: Dip each pretzel bone again into the melted chocolate to achieve a thicker coating, shake off the excess, and return them to the baking sheet.
- Final chill: Refrigerate the pretzel bones again for 10 minutes to fully set the chocolate coating before serving.
Notes
- Ensure the candy melts are melted smoothly for an even coating; avoid overheating to prevent burning.
- If a sharper edge is desired, trim excess chocolate carefully after the first coat sets.
- Store the finished pretzel bones in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them fresh and maintain the coating firmness.
- For variation, consider using colored candy melts or adding edible eyes to make spooky pretzel creatures.
