# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • Takes literally ten minutes from start to finish
  • The combo of salty pretzels and sweet white chocolate is addictive
02 -
  • The chocolate sets faster than you expect, so have everything measured and ready before you start melting
  • Do not refrigerate to speed up setting time or everything will get soggy from condensation
03 -
  • Melt white chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, to avoid seizing
  • If the coating gets too thick, add a teaspoon of coconut oil to thin it out
