Scale
Main Ingredients
- 80 mini marshmallows
- 40 pretzel sticks
- 16 oz white candy melting chips or white candy melts
Instructions
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure the pretzel bones do not stick after dipping.
- Assemble Bones: Push a mini marshmallow onto each end of a pretzel stick to form a bone shape.
- Melt White Candy: Heat the white candy melting chips in the microwave for 45 seconds, stir well, then continue heating in 15-second increments, stirring between, until completely melted and smooth.
- First Dip: Using a fork, dip each assembled pretzel bone into the melted white candy, coating it completely. Shake off excess chocolate and place it carefully on the prepared baking sheet.
- Chill First Layer: Place the tray in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to allow the white candy coating to set.
- Trim Excess Chocolate: If any excess chocolate has dripped and hardened unevenly, use a sharp knife to trim it off for a cleaner look.
- Reheat Chocolate: Heat the remaining white candy melts for another 30 seconds and stir to keep it smooth for the second dip.
- Second Dip: Dip each pretzel bone again to double coat them, shaking off any excess, and return them to the parchment-lined tray.
- Final Chill: Refrigerate the pretzel bones for a final 10 minutes to set the chocolate layers completely.
Notes
- Use sturdy pretzel sticks to prevent breaking when assembling and dipping.
- If white candy melts start to thicken, reheat gently in short bursts to maintain a smooth consistency.
- For cleaner edges, use a sharp knife to trim excess chocolate after the first dip.
- Store pretzel bones in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator to keep them fresh.
- Optional: Add edible glitter or decorations before the second coat sets for extra festive flair.
