Ingredients
  

Pretzel Base
  • 48 pieces mini pretzel twists Use mini pretzel twists for decorating as rabbits or sheep.
Chocolate and Decorations
  • 1 cup white chocolate melting discs For dipping and decorating.
  • 1 cup dark chocolate melting discs For dipping and decorating.
  • 3 tablespoons white nonpareil sprinkles For 12 sheep pretzels.
  • 24 pieces candy eyes (3/16" size) 2 each for 12 sheep pretzels.
  • 12 pieces pink heart sprinkles 1 each for 12 rabbit pretzels.
  • 24 pieces black or navy nonpareil sprinkles 2 each for 12 rabbit pretzels.
  • 2 tablespoons pastel sprinkles For decoration.

Method
 

Chocolate Melting Process
  1. Place the white chocolate melting discs in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in the microwave for about 30 seconds.
  2. Stir the chocolate well. If it is not fully melted, heat for an additional 10-15 seconds.
  3. Repeat with the dark chocolate melting discs in a separate bowl.
Rabbit Pretzels
  1. Take 12 mini pretzel twists and dip the top half into the melted white chocolate. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  2. Immediately add a pink heart sprinkle for the nose and two black nonpareil sprinkles for the eyes.
  3. Wait for the chocolate to set a bit, then drizzle some melted dark chocolate over the pretzel for 'ears.'
Sheep Pretzels
  1. Use another 12 pretzel twists and dip them into the melted white chocolate, using the same method as the rabbit pretzels.
  2. After placing them on the parchment paper, quickly add two candy eyes and sprinkle some white nonpareil sprinkles on top for a fluffy look.
  3. Use a little melted dark chocolate on the bottom of the eyes to keep them in place if needed.
Sprinkle/Drizzle Pretzels
  1. For the last batch of 24 pretzels, dip each one fully into the white or dark chocolate. Allow excess to drip off.
  2. Before the chocolate hardens, sprinkle with pastel sprinkles.
  3. Let all pretzels cool completely on a baking rack.

Notes

Store Easter Pretzels in an airtight container at room temperature. Freezing is possible for up to three months, thaw at room temperature before serving.
