Description
These White Chocolate Pumpkin Spice Pretzels are a no-bake treat perfect for fall. They combine salty pretzels with sweet white chocolate and warm pumpkin pie spice for a simple yet delicious snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 ounces white chocolate melting wafers or white chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional, for extra warmth)
- Orange food coloring (optional)
- 2 cups pretzel twists or rods
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper.
- Melt the white chocolate: Place white chocolate wafers or chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth and fully melted. Alternatively, melt in a double boiler over simmering water, stirring until smooth.
- Stir in flavor and color: Once the chocolate is melted, stir in the pumpkin pie spice and optional cinnamon. If using, add a few drops of orange food coloring and mix until you achieve your desired color.
- Dip the pretzels: Dip each pretzel into the melted white chocolate, coating it completely or partially, depending on your preference. Tap off any excess chocolate.
- Place on prepared baking sheet: Lay the coated pretzels on the parchment or wax paper, ensuring they don’t touch.
- Chill to set: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully set and firm.
- Store: Once set, store the white chocolate pumpkin spice pretzels in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
Notes
- For best results, use good quality white chocolate melting wafers as they melt more smoothly and set firmer than regular white chocolate chips.
- Adjust the amount of pumpkin pie spice to your taste.
- If the chocolate thickens while you’re working, you can gently reheat it in the microwave for a few seconds to thin it out again.
- You can drizzle additional melted white chocolate or a contrasting chocolate over the set pretzels for a decorative touch.
