How to make the best funfetti pretzel bites:

Space out half of your pretzels on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, then set aside.
Heat-treat your cake mix by pouring it into a microwave safe bowl and microwaving for 90 seconds, stirring every 30 seconds, or until it reaches 160 degrees F.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the heat-treated cake mix, softened butter, and milk then mix to form a dough consistency.
Roll the dough into balls roughly 1 inch in size, then place one dough ball on top of each pretzel twist.
Sandwich each dough ball with another pretzel twist, then set aside.
In a microwave safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips with vegetable oil. Microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.
Dip each pretzel bite halfway into the melted chocolate, then return to your prepared baking sheet and immediately top with rainbow sprinkles.
Transfer to the fridge to let the chocolate set before enjoying!

If you love cookie dough and cake batter, you’ve come to the right place! I’ve simplified this recipe by using store-bought funfetti cake mix which allows these to come together quickly with little to no skill required! Swap out the sprinkles for different holidays and you’ll have the perfect bite sized treat for any occasion!

My top tips:

HEAT TREATING CAKE MIX: I do recommend heat-treating your cake mix to prevent any harmful bacteria from raw flour from getting into your pretzel bites! You can easily heat-treat the cake mix by microwaving it for 60-90 seconds or by baking it in the oven on a sheet tray at 350 degrees F for 5 minutes.
PRETZEL VARIETIES: I like using mini pretzel twists for this recipe, but pretzel snaps or waffle pretzels work great too!
VEGETABLE OIL: Adding a little vegetable oil to the chocolate chips is my secret trick for silky smooth chocolate every time! The vegetable oil thins out the chocolate and makes it much easier to dip the pretzel bites.
MELTING CHOCOLATE: I recommend microwaving the chocolate in 30 second intervals to prevent any burning. White chocolate can be especially temperamental and prone to clumping, so it’s important to melt it down slowly.
SPRINKLES: The wet chocolate acts as a glue for the sprinkles to stick to, so it’s important to top these with sprinkles before the white chocolate has set.
PREPARED BAKING SHEET: Be sure to let the chocolate dipped pretzels set on a sheet of parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking. This ensures the chilled chocolate will easily release from the baking sheet when you’re ready to enjoy!
CHILLIING: You can let these set at room temperature, but depending on the temperature in your kitchen, it will take about an hour for the chocolate to fully harden. To speed up the process, feel free to place these bites in the fridge for 15 minutes to set the chocolate.
STORING: Once the chocolate has set, I recommend transferring any leftovers into an airtight container and storing in the fridge for up to 1 week.
