Complete the Sauce
Slowly add cream while whisking. Let it simmer until thick. Add salt and pepper to your liking.

We crafted this recipe to bring you the true flavor of genuine Italian white pizza sauce.

Temperature Control

Getting the heat just right stops garlic from turning bitter and helps your sauce come together smoothly.

Flavor Twists

Mix it up with fresh herbs, some red pepper flakes, or roasted garlic for totally different taste experiences.

Keeping It Fresh

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

Spreading Advice

Spread a thin, level coating to keep your crust from getting soggy while baking.

A top-notch white sauce can make any pizza better, giving you the perfect base for traditional or creative toppings.

Frequently Asked Questions

→ What’s the best type of chocolate for coating?
Choose white chocolate wafers, almond bark, or candy melts. Skip chocolate chips because they don’t coat evenly.
→ How long will the pretzels last?
Store them in a sealed container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
→ Can white chocolate be colored?
Yes! Use oil-based coloring or powdered dyes, as liquid food color doesn’t work.
→ How do I pack these treats as gifts?
Use small clear bags or wrap stacks of pretzels tightly in plastic wrap to keep them fresh and attractive.
→ Why is chilling necessary between steps?
It helps the chocolate set quickly, making it easier to add details or layers.

Ingredients

→ Base Ingredients

01 48 little pretzel pieces
02 1 cup of white chocolate discs for melting
03 1 cup of dark chocolate discs for melting

→ For Sheep Decorations

04 24 edible eyes (tiny size, about 3/16 inch)
05 3 tablespoons of white sprinkle dots

→ For Bunny Decorations

06 24 tiny nonpareil sprinkles in black or dark blue
07 12 small pink heart sprinkles

→ Additional Decorations

08 2 tablespoons of pastel sprinkle mix

Instructions

Step 01

Place chocolate discs in a microwave-safe bowl. Warm on 50% strength for 1 to 2 minutes. Stir until smooth and reheat for 15-second bursts if needed. Scoop into a zip bag and snip the corner to use like a piping tool.

Step 02

Start by dipping pretzels into the melted white chocolate. Shake off extra chocolate and let cool in the refrigerator until set. Use the bagged chocolate to pipe bunny faces. Add the little sprinkle eyes and a pink sprinkle for the nose. Draw whisker details with a marker safe for food.

Step 03

Coat pretzels in the white melted chocolate and sprinkle with white dots right away. Chill until firm. Use the dark chocolate to pipe the sheep’s face and ears, then attach the edible eyes while still soft.

Step 04

Cover pretzels in the melted dark chocolate, then decorate right away with pastel sprinkles. Alternatively, refrigerate dipped pretzels to set, then drizzle with extra melted white chocolate in different colors.

Notes

  1. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
  2. Use other options like almond bark, candy melts, or regular chocolate if you can’t find melting discs.
  3. These are perfect for gifting—pack them in clear bags to show them off.
