Ingredients
  

  • 1 bag (approx 9 oz) Pretzel Snaps or Squares The grid or windowpane style works best.
  • 10 oz Dark or Milk Chocolate Melting Wafers Ensure they are fresh for best melting.
  • 2 oz Bright White Melting Wafers For the laces.
  • 1/2 tsp Coconut Oil or Vegetable Shortening Optional, to thin the chocolate if needed.

Equipment

  • 1 Baking Sheets
  • Parchment Paper
  • 2 Microwave-safe bowls
  • 1 Piping bag or plastic baggie

Method
 

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange pretzels in a single layer on the sheet.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate wafers in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. Stir in coconut oil if the chocolate is too thick.
  3. Spoon a small amount of melted chocolate onto the center of each pretzel. Use the back of the spoon to shape it into an oval. Let them set completely until firm (about 10-15 minutes in the fridge).
  4. Melt the white candy wafers in a separate bowl. Transfer to a piping bag or a plastic bag with the corner snipped off. Pipe a long line down the middle of each chocolate oval, then add 3-4 shorter cross-lines.
  5. Allow the white chocolate laces to harden completely at room temperature. Once set, they are ready to serve.
