Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 80 mini marshmallows
- 40 pretzel sticks
- 16 oz white candy melting chips or white candy melting tray
Instructions
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Assemble Pretzel Bones: Push one mini marshmallow onto each end of a pretzel stick to form the bone shape.
- Melt White Candy Coating: Heat the white candy melting chips in the microwave for 45 seconds, then stir well. Repeat heating in short bursts and stirring until the candy is fully melted and smooth.
- First Dip: Using a fork, dip each pretzel bone completely into the white chocolate coating, shaking off any excess chocolate, then place onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Chill to Set: Place the tray in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to allow the coating to harden.
- Trim Excess Chocolate: Optionally, use a sharp knife to trim any excess chocolate that has dripped off and hardened around the bones.
- Reheat Chocolate: Heat the white candy coating again for 30 seconds and stir to keep it smooth and workable.
- Second Dip: Dip each pretzel bone again into the white chocolate coating for a thicker layer, shaking off excess and returning them to the tray.
- Final Chill: Refrigerate for another 10 minutes until the coating is fully set and firm.
Notes
- You can substitute regular-sized marshmallows cut in half for mini marshmallows if needed.
- Use good quality white candy melts for smoother coating and easier melting.
- Make sure to shake off excess white chocolate to avoid large drips that are hard to trim.
- Store the pretzel bones in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- For extra fun, decorate with edible markers or colored sprinkles before chilling the second time.
