Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 12 pretzel rods (or mini pretzels)
- 1 cup white chocolate chips (or white chocolate melts)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, to help with melting)
Decorations
- Pastel-colored candy melts (optional for decoration)
- Candy eyes (or mini chocolate chips for eyes)
- Pink or red candy for the nose (such as M&Ms, jelly beans, or pink candy melts)
- Sprinkles or edible glitter (optional)
Instructions
- Melt the White Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler, gently melt the white chocolate chips with the optional coconut oil. Stir frequently to ensure a smooth, even consistency.
- Melt the Candy Melts: If using pastel-colored candy melts for decoration, melt them separately according to the package instructions until smooth and ready for piping or dipping.
- Dip the Pretzels: Holding each pretzel rod by one end, dip it halfway or completely into the melted white chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Place the dipped pretzels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to set.
- Decorate the Bunny Faces: While the chocolate is still soft, press candy eyes onto the pretzels in the appropriate position for bunny eyes. Add a small piece of pink or red candy in the center to form the bunny nose. Using melted pastel candy melts, pipe small bunny ears or other designs onto the pretzels for extra festive detail.
- Add Optional Decorations: Sprinkle on sprinkles or edible glitter over the wet chocolate for added sparkle and color if desired.
- Let the Pretzels Set: Allow the chocolate and decorations to fully harden at room temperature or in the refrigerator until firm before serving.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once set, place the Easter Bunny Pretzels on a serving platter and enjoy these sweet, salty, and fun holiday treats with family and friends.
Notes
- Use coconut oil to help thin the white chocolate for easier dipping and smoother coating.
- Substitute candy eyes with mini chocolate chips if candy eyes are unavailable.
- These pretzels can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- For quicker setting, refrigerate the dipped pretzels for 15-20 minutes.
- Use gluten-free pretzels if you need the recipe to be gluten-free.
