Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Coating
- 3 squares White Chocolate Almond Bark (melted)
Base
- 24 Pretzel Twists
Decorations
- Food Coloring Gel (Pink and Black)
Instructions
- Prepare Work Surface and Chocolate: Lay out a large piece of parchment paper on your counter or table to place the pretzels for decorating. Try to select flat pretzels from the bag to make shaping easier. Melt 3 squares of white chocolate almond bark in the microwave until smooth and fluid. Arrange the pretzel twists in a single layer on the parchment paper.
- Fill Pretzel Spaces with White Chocolate: Use the melted white chocolate to fill the open spaces of each pretzel twist. Allow the chocolate to set and dry completely for about 30 minutes. After setting, flip each pretzel over gently.
- Prepare Colored Chocolate for Decorating: From the remaining melted white chocolate, measure out about 3 tablespoons into a small dish and add pink food coloring gel to create pink tinted chocolate. In another small dish, place 2 tablespoons of the white chocolate and mix in black food coloring gel to make black tinted chocolate.
- Decorate Bunny Features: Using a toothpick, dip into the black tinted chocolate and add two small black dots in the lower space of each pretzel to represent the bunny’s eyes. Next, use the pink tinted chocolate with a toothpick to add a small dot in the center lower part of the pretzel for the bunny nose. Then decorate the upper two spaces of the pretzel with pink chocolate to form bunny ears.
- Set and Serve: Let the decorated pretzels sit for another 30 minutes to allow the colored chocolate decorations to fully dry and set. Once set, the Bunny Pretzels are ready to serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Use flat pretzels for easier and cleaner decorating.
- If almond bark is not available, white melting wafers or white chocolate chips can be used as substitutes.
- Work quickly when coloring and decorating as the white chocolate can harden fast.
- Store finished pretzels in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- For more vibrant colors, add the food coloring gel gradually until desired shade is achieved.
