Cooking Instructions

Start the Foundation
Heat olive oil on medium. Toss in minced garlic and let it cook until it smells amazing but doesn't brown.
Create a Roux
Sprinkle in flour to mix with oil and garlic into a paste. Keep stirring while it cooks briefly.
Complete Your Sauce
Slowly pour in cream while whisking. Let it bubble until thick. Add salt and pepper to your liking.

We created this sauce to bring the real flavor of Italian white pizza home.

Temperature Control

Watching your heat stops garlic from turning bitter and helps the sauce come together nicely.

Flavor Twists

Jazz it up with any fresh herbs, some red pepper flakes, or roasted garlic cloves for different tastes.

Keeping It Fresh

Keeps in the fridge up to 5 days. Warm it up slowly with constant stirring to keep it smooth.

Spreading Advice

Spread a thin, even coat so your crust doesn't get soggy while baking.

A great white sauce makes all the difference, giving you the perfect starting point for whatever toppings you want to pile on.

Frequently Asked Questions

→ What chocolate works best for dipping?
White chocolate wafers, almond bark, or candy melts are ideal. Regular chocolate chips don’t coat smoothly, so skip those.
→ How long can I store them?
They hold up well for about two weeks if kept in an airtight container at room temperature.
→ Can I tint white chocolate different colors?
Absolutely, but stick to powdered or oil-based colors. Liquid food color makes the chocolate seize up.
→ What’s a good gifting idea with these?
Use small treat bags or bunch them together with plastic wrap for freshness and a polished finish.
→ Why chill between steps?
Chilling sets the chocolate quickly, so you’ve got a firm surface for designs or extras.

Difficulty: Intermediate

Cuisine: American

Yield: 48 Servings (48 decorated pretzels)

Dietary: Vegetarian

Ingredients

→ Base Ingredients

01 48 mini pretzel twists or pieces
02 1 cup of white chocolate discs for melting
03 1 cup of dark chocolate discs for melting

→ For Sheep Decorations

04 24 tiny edible eyes (about 3/16 inch)
05 3 tablespoons of white round sprinkles (nonpareils)

→ For Bunny Decorations

06 24 small dark blue or black sprinkle rounds (nonpareils)
07 12 little heart-shaped pink sprinkles

→ Additional Decorations

08 2 tablespoons of pastel-colored sprinkle mix

Instructions

Step 01

Pop the chocolate wafers into a microwave-safe bowl. Heat at 50% power for 1-2 minutes. Stir until smooth, reheating for 15 seconds at a time if needed. Transfer the melted chocolate into a ziplock bag, then snip one corner to make a piping tool.

Step 02

Dip pretzels in white chocolate, shaking off any extra. Put them in the fridge to set. Use the white chocolate to pipe on a bunny's face. Add sprinkle eyes and a heart-shaped sprinkle as the nose. Draw the whiskers with a food-safe marker.

Step 03

Coat pretzels in melted white chocolate, then immediately sprinkle them with white dots. Chill until the chocolate hardens completely. Pipe on a sheep face and ears with dark chocolate, then attach little edible eyes.

Step 04

Dip pretzels into dark chocolate and cover them with pastel sprinkles while still wet. Or, once they're chilled and set, decorate them with drizzles of melted white chocolate in different colors for a fancy touch.

Notes

  1. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
  2. Feel free to use candy melts, almond bark, or plain chocolate instead of wafers.
  3. Pack these treats in clear bags for a cute homemade gift.
