Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Dough Bites
- 16 ounces package refrigerated pre-portioned edible chocolate chip cookie dough (Pillsbury brand – safe to eat raw)
- 48 square mini pretzels
Chocolate Coating
- 10 ounces package milk chocolate melting wafers (Ghirardelli brand)
- ½ cup rainbow jimmies sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside to keep your treats from sticking and to facilitate easy cleanup.
- Shape Cookie Dough: Remove the pre-portioned edible chocolate chip cookie dough from the package. These pieces should already be one tablespoon-sized squares. If they are not, use a tablespoon measure to portion and shape them evenly into squares.
- Assemble Bites: Gently press one square mini pretzel onto both flat, square sides of a single cookie dough portion. Each bite uses two pretzels, one on each side. Place each assembled bite onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat until all bites are assembled.
- Freeze Bites: Transfer the assembled pretzel cookie dough bites to the freezer for 20 minutes to firm up, which helps in handling during dipping.
- Melt Chocolate: Place the milk chocolate melting wafers into a small microwave-safe bowl. Heat on high for 1 minute, stir thoroughly, then heat again for 30 seconds and stir until the chocolate is completely smooth and melted.
- Dip and Decorate: Remove the bites from the freezer. Dip each pretzel cookie dough bite halfway into the melted chocolate, then immediately sprinkle the chocolate-coated portion with rainbow jimmies sprinkles. Place the decorated bites back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat until all treats are coated.
- Set Chocolate: Return the chocolate-dipped and sprinkled bites to the freezer for an additional 10 minutes, or until the chocolate has completely hardened and set before serving or plating.
Notes
- Use edible cookie dough to ensure the bites are safe to eat raw.
- If your cookie dough is not pre-portioned, use a tablespoon to scoop and form the dough into squares for uniform bites.
- Freezing the bites before and after dipping ensures they hold their shape and the chocolate coating sets properly.
- You can substitute rainbow sprinkles with any other decorative toppings like crushed nuts or colored sugar.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer for best freshness.
