Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 2 minutes
Total Time 22 minutes
Servings: 20 donut holes
Course: Snack
Cuisine: American

Ingredients
  

  • 20 Glazed Donut Holes
  • 3/4 cup chocolate chips
  • 10-20 pretzel sticks
  • 3/4 cup chocolate jimmies

Equipment

  • parchment paper
  • rubber gloves (optional)

Method
 

  1. If your pretzel sticks are longer, begin by snapping them in half and you’ll only need 10 instead of 20.
  2. Place the chocolate chips in a small bowl and microwave on high for 2 minutes, stopping every 30 seconds to stir. If you store your chocolate chips in the freezer or fridge, you might need more time for them to fully melt. Your chocolate is ready when it’s smooth and creamy, without lumps.
  3. Place the chocolate sprinkles in a small bowl.
  4. Using gloves, if desired, dip the tip of a donut hole in the melted chocolate and lightly scrape it on the side of the bowl so the excess chocolate will fall off and then immediately dip the tip of the donut hole in the chocolate sprinkles.
  5. Place one pretzel stick (or half pretzel stick) in the end with the chocolate and the sprinkles, being careful not to scrape any of it off.
  6. Place on parchment paper to dry. Repeat with all the donut holes until complete.
  7. Place in the fridge or freezer for 5 minutes to set the chocolate, if desired, or eat immediately while the chocolate is still gooey. Enjoy!
