Recipe preparation

Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

  • Mini Pretzels: Look for the classic shape; they provide the best structure for our bunnies.
  • Chocolate Chips: Use high-quality milk or dark chocolate chips for that rich flavor.
  • Coconut Oil: This helps thin out the chocolate for easier dipping while adding gloss.

Let’s Make it together

Get those aprons on; it’s time to dive into this chocolaty adventure!

Melt the Chocolate: Start by melting your chocolate chips and coconut oil together in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals until smooth and glossy.

Dip the Pretzels: Grab those mini pretzels and dip them into the melted chocolate using a fork. Ensure each pretzel is fully coated before letting excess chocolate drip off.

Set on Wax Paper: Place each dipped pretzel onto a sheet of wax paper. Spread them out so they don’t stick together as they cool down.

Add Bunny Details: While the chocolate is still warm, use melted white chocolate to add little bunny ears and attach edible eyes for personality!

Chill to Set: Pop your tray of pretzels into the fridge for about 30 minutes or until the chocolate sets completely a perfect time for you to grab a snack yourself!

Enjoy!: Once set, serve these delightful treats at your next gathering or keep them all to yourself no judgment here!
