On Guard® Pretzels

INTRODUCTION
We all love a healthy snack with a good crunch. Just the right amount of sweet and salty, plus a twist of fortifying On Guard® flavor, and you’ve got a seasonal treat everyone will be reaching for. These On Guard Pretzel sticks work just as well in goody bags and gift wrapping as they do on a desert tray—just don’t forget to keep a few for yourself! 

SUPPLIES

• 24 large pretzel rods
• 1½ cups semi-sweet chocolate morsels
• 1 tsp. coconut oil
• 2-4 drops On Guard essential oil

Topping Suggestions: Coconut shavings, crushed nuts, or peppermint bits. 

​​​​​​​INSTRUCTIONS

1. In a glass or ceramic bowl, add the chocolate morsels and coconut oil. 
2. Fill a saucepan (one that is small enough that your glass or ceramic bowl will sit comfortably on top) with a few inches of water and bring to a soft boil. Reduce to medium heat to maintain a simmer. Place the bowl of chocolate onto the boiling water to make a double boiler and mix until the chocolate is melted and smooth. 
3. Remove melted chocolate from the stovetop and add the essential oil. 
4. Dip pretzel rods into the chocolate, then roll or sprinkle on any desired toppings. 
5. Place the decorated pretzel rods on a baking sheet lined with waxed paper and allow to cool completely.
