thin mint pretzels

If you&#039;re looking for an easy holiday dessert that yields plenty for a crowd, makes a great food gift, stores for weeks, and uses basic ingredients, look no further than these dark chocolate peppermint pretzels. Flavored with just the right amount of peppermint, this festive sweet and salty combo is so fun to decorate for the Christmas season.

Dark Chocolate Peppermint Pretzels

(283 grams) dark chocolate chips

(9 grams) refined coconut oil

¼ teaspoon pure peppermint extract

(170 grams) mini salted pretzels ((about 100 pretzels))

Festive sprinkles ((optional))

Line several large baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside for now.

Add chocolate chips/chunks to a small saucepan set over very low heat. Meanwhile add coconut oil to a small heat-safe bowl and microwave in 10-15 second bursts until the coconut oil is fully melted and smooth. Stir the peppermint extract into the melted coconut oil.

Pour the melted coconut oil/peppermint mixture over the chocolate. Stir often as the chocolate melts until it&#39;s entirely smooth.

Remove the saucepan from the heat and dip the pretzels in, using tongs or two forks to submerge them to coat fully. Lift up each pretzel over the pan after it&#39;s been dipped so the excess drips back in. Place each chocolate pretzel in a single layer on the parchment-lined pans, decorating with sprinkles right when wet if you want.

Repeat for the remaining pretzels, briefly pausing to place the pan of chocolate back on low heat as needed to warm up again  and thin if it cools and thickens too much along the way.

Let the chocolate peppermint pretzels fully harden at room temperature before serving/storing, though the pans can be transferred to the refrigerator to speed up the process. Store pretzels in air-tight containers at room temperature, in the refrigerator, or in the freezer for a month or longer.

Much better than the expense of Girl Scout chocolate mint-covered pretzels because... dark chocolate! You eat fewer and feel better after. Awesome recipe. Thank you!
