Pretzel Peppermint Truffle Pops
These truffles are made out of a simple chocolate ganache and have a Snyder’s of Hanover® Pretzel Round placed inside for a crunchy surprise. Once the truffles are formed and chilled, they are rolled in a mixture of crushed Snyder’s Pretzel Sticks and crushed peppermints. The final touch is to place a Snyder’s Pretzel Stick into each truffle to create a lollipop.

Preparation
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the chocolate in a large, heatproof bowl.
- Add the heavy cream to a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat.
- Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let sit for 5 minutes to allow chocolate to melt. Add the vanilla and whisk until smooth. Pour into a small, shallow dish with a flat bottom for even cooling. Cover with plastic wrap, pressing directly against the surface of the chocolate, then refrigerate for 1 hour, until firm enough to scoop.
- Spoon 8 1½-tablespoon scoops of the chocolate mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Press a Snyder’s Pretzel Round into each chocolate mound, then top each with another 1½-tablespoon scoop of chocolate. Divide any remaining chocolate mixture between each mound. Refrigerate for 20 minutes to firm the truffles.
- On a large plate, mix together the crushed Snyder’s Pretzel Sticks and peppermint candies.
- Remove the chilled truffles from the refrigerator and quickly roll each truffle between your palms to make smooth, round balls. Roll each ball in the pretzel and peppermint mixture until covered, then insert a whole Snyder’s Pretzel Stick into the top of each truffle as a lollipop stick. Refrigerate uncovered until ready to serve, up to 2 days.
- Enjoy!
