Ingredients
- 20 pretzel sticks
- 100 g white chocolate buttons (3.5 oz)
- 25 g freeze dried raspberries (1 oz)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Add the white chocolate buttons and coconut oil to an electric melting pot and melt to a smooth texture - alternatively melt them in a bowl set over a pan of simmering water or a microwave.
- Add the freeze dried raspberries to a blender or food processor and blitz to a fine powder.
- Pass the powder through a sieve to remove any seeds, then mix the powder with the melted chocolate.
- Dip each pretzel into the chocolate and coat well.
- Transfer the coated pretzels to a tray lined with non-stick paper and refrigerate until the chocolate sets.
Notes
- I highly recommend an electric chocolate melting pot, it's such a life changer. It melts chocolate to a perfect temperature and texture; it's so worth the little investment, especially if you use melted chocolate a lot.
- Powder the freeze dried raspberries before adding them to the melted chocolate, the result is a much smoother, more visually-appealing chocolate.
- Make sure you use non-stick paper to line the tray or plate you transfer the sticks to, otherwise the chocolate will stick and the pretzels will be very hard to remove once set.
