Description
These Peppermint Pretzel Crisps are a no-bake holiday treat that combines crunchy, salty pretzel crisps with rich dark chocolate and crushed peppermint candy for a perfect balance of sweet and salty flavors.
Ingredients
40 pretzel crisps
1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chips (or semi-sweet)
1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract (optional)
1/3 cup crushed candy canes or peppermint candies
Flaky sea salt (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring each time until smooth, or use a double boiler for gentler melting.
- Stir in the peppermint extract, if using.
- Dip each pretzel crisp halfway into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off.
- Place the dipped pretzels on the prepared baking sheet.
- Sprinkle crushed peppermint candy and optional flaky sea salt over the wet chocolate.
- Repeat with remaining pretzels.
- Refrigerate for 15–20 minutes until the chocolate sets.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or in the fridge for up to two weeks.
Notes
Use white chocolate for a sweeter variation.
Choose gluten-free pretzel crisps for a gluten-free version.
Top with crushed nuts or toffee bits for extra crunch.
Double-dip the pretzels for a thicker chocolate layer.
Use festive sprinkles instead of peppermint for a kid-friendly option.
