Steps:
- Combine powdered sugar, sweetened condensed milk, butter, salt and vanilla in a large bowl and blend thick and combined. Gently mix in 1 ½ cups of crushed peppermint candy until fully incorporated.
- Roll filling into ¾-inch round balls. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and chill or freeze for at least 30 minutes.
- When you're ready to dip the candies, melt 12 ounces of semisweet chocolate in a double boiler over low heat or in a microwave. If using a microwave, heat chocolate for 30 seconds at 50 percent power, then stir. Continue microwaving in 15-second increments at 50 percent power until the chocolate is completely melted.
- Be careful not to overheat the chocolate or it will seize and clump, and you'll be unable to use it for dipping. If necessary, thin the chocolate with vegetable oil, a teaspoon at a time, until it's a good dipping consistency.
- Working in small batches, dip chilled candies in chocolate. The best way to do this is to lay a candy on the tines of a fork. Lower the fork into the warm chocolate, until the candy is submerged. Then, raise the fork, allowing the extra chocolate to drip through the tines. Tap the fork on the edge of the dipping bowl to remove any excess chocolate. Then gently slide the dipped candy onto baking sheet lined with parchment.
- Before the chocolate has time to cool and set, sprinkle candies with remaining peppermint pieces.

- Place the semisweet chocolate and 1 1/2 teaspoons coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat for 30 seconds, stir, then continue heating in 15-second bursts, stirring between each. Repeat until the chocolate is almost but not entirely melted. Remove from the microwave, add 1/2 teaspoon of the peppermint extract, and stir, letting the residual heat melt the chocolate the rest of the way. Chocolate can burn quickly and easily, so don’t walk away or be too ambitious with the amount of time you are adding. Your patience will be rewarded.
- Place the white chocolate and remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons coconut oil in a separate microwave-safe bowl and melt, following the same process above. Stir in the remaining 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract.
- Dip half of the pretzels into the white chocolate, leaving one corner undipped. Shake off any excess and use a knife or fork to wipe some of the excess chocolate off of the back of the pretzels so that the holes are open. Place on the prepared baking sheet. With the tines of a separate fork, drizzle with semisweet chocolate and immediately sprinkle with the crushed candy pieces. I was able to dip about four pretzels in a row before sprinkling and have enough time before the coating hardened.
