These 9 butterflies took me about an hour.įreeze the chocolate covered peanut butter pretzel butterflies once they’ve all been assembled. Repeat these steps with the remaining 16 pretzels (and pretzel pieces if you’re adding antennae), resulting in a total of 9 butterflies. When I left fingerprints on mine, I just touched up those spots later by adding melted chocolate once the butterflies were on the silicone mat. Optional: If you’re adding antennae, like I did, dip those pieces now and add them to the first butterfly. The picture below shows you where on the pretzels you want to connect the wings. When the chocolate cools, it should glue the wings together. If there’s not enough melted chocolate to seal those 2 wings together, use a spoon to get a little more melted chocolate from the bowl to drip into that spot where they touch. Repeat this step with a second pretzel and set it next to the other pretzel on the parchment paper or mat in a way that it’s touching. If you don’t have vegan white chocolate, but you do have vegan sprinkles, you can decorate your chocolate butterflies with sprinkles instead.

I covered the bowl with a cloth napkin and microwaved on high for 20 seconds. You can use the same method you used for the dark chocolate chips, but I didn’t want to wash the bowl, so I used the microwave to melt mine. Melt 36 (18g) vegan white chocolate chips.

If it’s induction, it may take less time. If your stove is electric, it may take longer. This step takes me about 5 minutes on my gas stove.

Melt 4 ounces (120g) of vegan chocolate chips using some sort of a double boiler method.
