A delicious chocolate dipped pretzels recipe that will help you make a wonderful treat for the family or a gift for a special occasion.After baking, these decorative biscuits  are coated in melted dark chocolate and sprinkled with emerald green pistachios.


Just three ingredients are needed to make these White Chocolate Haystacks; white chocolate, peanuts and pretzels. White chocolate has such a sweet and subtle flavor that complements the saltiness of the peanuts and pretzels. Perfect for gift giving, its really "white confectionery coating".
The one thing we must do is to choose our white chocolate carefully, making sure that the label states that it contains cocoa butter, sugar, milk solids, vanilla, and lecithin. White chocolate needs cocoa butter as this is what gives it that sweet yet mellow flavor and smooth and creamy texture. Inferior brands use vegetable fat as its substitute and their flavor is very sweet and artificial tasting. Another tell tailed sign its not good white chocolate is its color. White chocolate containing cocoa butter is pale yellow to ivory colored, whereas white chocolate containing vegetable fat is pure white in color.
