White chocolate covered pretzels and white chocolate Bunny Bark are super easy to make, in less than 10 minutes, and for much less money than it would cost to be them from a chocolate shop.
4Dutch Bavarian pretzels (save any broken pretzel pieces for the bark)
16oz.white chocolate melts or chips
Festive sprinkles
Jelly beans
Instructions
Pretzels Instructions
In a microwave safe medium size bowl, add white candy melts or white chocolate chips. If using white chocolate chips, add 2 tablespoons of vegetable shortening.
Microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until completely melted, OR place chocolate into a stainless steel bowl and melt in a double boiler on the stove top.
Use your fingers or a fork to dip pretzels into and out of chocolate. It's hot, so be careful! Let excess chocolate drip off back into the bowl.
Place pretzels onto sheets of parchment or wax paper to dry.
Add sprinkles while chocolate is still wet.
Store pretzels between layers of parchment paper in a well sealed container.
Bunny Bark Instructions
Coat a 9-by-12 1/2-inch rimmed baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray, and line with parchment, leaving an overhang on ends. Melt chocolate using the same method mentioned above. Pour chocolate onto the baking sheet, and use an offset spatula to spread in an even layer.
Immediately place sprinkles, jelly beans, and any broken pretzel pieces over chocolate. Once the bark has cooled and set, peel off the parchment paper and break into wedges.
Store bark between layers of parchment paper in a well sealed container.
Notes
If stored in a well sealed container, this homemade Easter candy should stay fresh for a couple of weeks.
