Easy Treat Suggestion . . .

Of late, I've seen a lot of these special pretzel treats being offered for sale even at bakeries! Upon reflections, I can't see spending two dollars or more for a chocolate-dipped pretzel stick so thought I'd offer some suggestions for making them ourselves. Ingredients: Look for those 6-8" pretzel sticks in the snack section of the chip/snack aisle of the store. They are about as thick around as your finger. Chocolate chips White Chocolate chips Finely chopped nuts Crushed peppermint candy Colorful cake decorations Crushed cookie crumbs Carefully melt the white chocolate chips and dip each pretzel stick to cover a bit more than half the stick. Place on a piece of waxed paper to harden. When the chocolate is set, carefully melt the dark chocolate chips and redip the pretzel sticks leaving a bit of an edges so you can see the white chocolate underneath. Have your toppings ready and immediately roll each stick in the nuts or candy of your choice and set aside to reharden, again. They would make a nice centerpiece on the table. You can put them upright in a pretty vase or jar and your guests could help themselves as you relax with a cup of coffe after dinner. The taste of the salt on the pretzel sticks and the sweet of the chocolate makes a unique and tasty contrast.
