Tips & Substitutions
For a more colorful mix, consider adding dried fruits like cranberries or apricots. If white chocolate isn't available, dark or milk chocolate can serve as a delicious substitute. Ensure the pretzels are broken into bite-sized pieces for better coverage and crunch. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate while melting to prevent it from seizing.
