Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 80 mini marshmallows
- 40 pretzel sticks
- 16 oz white candy melting chips
Instructions
- Prepare the baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and to make cleanup easier.
- Assemble the bones: Push a mini marshmallow onto each end of a pretzel stick to form the shape of a bone.
- Melt the white candy chips: Heat the white candy melting chips in the microwave for 45 seconds then stir. Continue heating in 15-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- First dip: Using a fork, dip each assembled pretzel bone into the melted white chocolate, coating it completely. Shake off any excess chocolate and place the dipped bones on the prepared baking sheet.
- Set the coating: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to allow the chocolate coating to set.
- Trim excess chocolate: Optionally, use a sharp knife to carefully trim off any excess chocolate that ran off the bones to give a cleaner finish.
- Reheat chocolate: Heat the chocolate again in the microwave for 30 seconds and stir until smooth to prepare for the second coat.
- Second dip: Dip each bone into the melted chocolate again, shaking off excess, then return them to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Final set: Refrigerate the dipped bones for another 10 minutes to fully set the chocolate coating before serving.
Notes
- Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
- The second chocolate coating helps create a thicker, sturdier shell and a polished look.
- For quicker setting, place dipped pretzel bones in the freezer for 5 minutes instead of the refrigerator.
- Be gentle when pushing marshmallows onto pretzel sticks to avoid breaking the pretzels.
- If you don’t have white candy melting chips, white chocolate bars or almond bark can be substituted.
