Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 12 ounces almond bark (six cubes)
- 5–6 regular-sized peppermint candy canes
- 1 (8 ounce) bag of pretzel crisps
- 3–4 drops mint extract (no more than ⅛ teaspoon)
Instructions
- Prepare the workspace: Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or wax paper and set aside to ensure easy cleanup and prevent sticking.
- Crush the candy canes: Place the peppermint candy canes into a Ziploc bag and carefully crush them using a rolling pin or large spoon until you have small, coarse pieces.
- Melt the almond bark: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the almond bark by microwaving for 45 seconds to 1 minute if at room temperature. If not fully melted, heat in 15-second increments until smooth.
- Add peppermint flavor and candy canes: Stir 3/4 of the crushed candy canes into the melted almond bark along with the mint extract, mixing thoroughly to infuse the white chocolate with peppermint flavor.
- Combine pretzels and coating: Add the pretzel crisps to the almond bark mixture and stir gently until every pretzel is evenly coated.
- Spread on cookie sheet: Spread the coated pretzels evenly onto the prepared cookie sheet, then sprinkle the remaining crushed candy canes on top for added crunch and color.
- Let set: Allow the pretzel crisps to cool and harden at room temperature for a couple of hours, or refrigerate to speed up the process.
- Serve and enjoy: Once set, break apart any clumps and serve these festive white chocolate peppermint pretzel crisps as a delightful snack or party treat.
Notes
- For faster cooling, refrigerate the pretzel crisps after spreading them out.
- Ensure candy canes are coarsely crushed to provide texture without being too fine.
- Store the finished pretzel crisps in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge to keep them fresh.
- Adjust the amount of mint extract according to your preferred peppermint intensity, but do not exceed ⅛ teaspoon to avoid bitterness.
