The Best pretzel and white chocolate recipe

I’ve always been a sucker for sweet and salty combinations, and this pretzel and white chocolate recipe is one of my favorites. It’s easy to make and always a hit with my family.

I first discovered this recipe when I was looking for a unique dessert to serve at a potluck dinner. The combination of crunchy pretzels, creamy white chocolate, and sweet sprinkles is absolute perfection.

I’ve made it for every family gathering since then, and it never fails to impress. My kids love helping me make the pretzels from scratch, and they’re always excited to taste the finished product.

The best part about this recipe is that it’s incredibly easy to customize – you can add in different types of nuts or sprinkles to give it your own personal touch. And the best part?

It’s actually pretty good for you too – the whole wheat pretzels provide a nice fiber boost, while the dark chocolate contains antioxidants. My family loves this recipe so much that we’ve even started making it for special occasions like holidays and birthdays.

It’s the perfect combination of sweet and salty that will satisfy any snack attack.

🥘Ingredients

For the Pretzel Bites

1 1/2 cups warm water
1 tbsp sugar
2 tsp salt
1 packet active dry yeast
4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
10 cups water
2/3 cup baking soda
1 large egg yolk beaten with 1 tbsp water

For the White Chocolate Dipping Sauce

8 oz white chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla extract

For Boiling and Baking

1 egg yolk
1 tbsp water
10 cups water
2/3 cup baking soda
1 tbsp butter, melted

👨‍🍳Directions

1In a large mixing bowl, combine warm water, sugar, and salt.
2Sprinkle yeast over the top and let it sit for 5 minutes until the mixture begins to foam.
3Add flour and melted butter, mixing until a dough forms.
4Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
5Place the dough in a greased bowl, cover with a clean kitchen towel, and let it rise in a warm place for 50-60 minutes, or until it has doubled in size.
6Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
7While the dough is rising, prepare the baking soda bath.
8In a large pot, bring 10 cups of water to a boil over high heat.
9Add the baking soda and stir until dissolved.
10Reduce the heat to medium and maintain a gentle simmer.
11Once the dough has risen, punch it down and divide it into 12 equal pieces.
12Roll each piece into a ball and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
13Using a sharp knife, make a small slit in the top of each pretzel bite.
14Cover the pretzel bites with a clean kitchen towel and let them rest for 10 minutes.
15Using a slotted spoon, carefully lower 4-5 pretzel bites at a time into the simmering baking soda bath.
16Cook for 30 seconds on each side, or until the pretzel bites float to the top and are lightly golden.
17Remove the pretzel bites from the water using the slotted spoon and place them back on the baking sheet.
18Brush the tops of the pretzel bites with the egg yolk mixture.
19Bake the pretzel bites in the preheated oven for 12-14 minutes, or until they are golden brown and firm to the touch.
20Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
21While the pretzel bites are cooling, prepare the white chocolate dipping sauce.
22In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chopped white chocolate and heavy cream.
23Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and the sauce is smooth.
24Stir in the vanilla extract and let the sauce cool slightly before serving.
25Serve the pretzel bites warm with the white chocolate dipping sauce on the side.
Enjoy immediately.
