pretzels

My tree is trimmed. My lights are hung. There’s no snow outside, cost but it’s definitely time for Christmas treats. Chocolate-covered pretzels are one of my favorite snacks, stuff no matter the time of year. I love the salty sweet combination, obesity the rich chocolatey flavor and the texture of the pretzels when they crunch in your mouth. They’re the perfect sweet treat for someone who’s not really a sweet tooth.

To make them a little more festive, I also sprinkled them with crushed candy canes and sparkly clear sprinkles. The result is a cross between peppermint bark and chocolate-covered pretzels. Absolutely delicious. This recipe, along with a couple of others that I’ll post soon, are going to become pretty little Christmas presents. There’s no better way to spread holiday cheer than with a chocolate peppermint treat.
