I already had a jar of mini pretzel rods. I found a little liqueur glass in the cupboard (now, where did it and its brothers come from?) which was just the right size for dipping.
Next, I filled it with chocolate chips and melted them in the microwave. (About 45 seconds.)
Next, I dipped the pretzels in the glass and rolled them in non-pareils.
A bit messy. I ended up getting out my frosting knife and smearing the pretzels with chocolate and then sprinkling them with the non-pareeils. But in the end, they looked just fine.
They were YUMMY -- and not too many to ruin the old diet (especially since I shared them).
An easy-to-make holiday treat.
Have you ever made them? (Would you?)
H'mm ... sounds great & no need to make a tremendous batch. Brilliant!! Thanks for a super idea. You betcha I'll try them out!
ReplyDeleteHope you and Mr. L and the kitties and your whole family enjoyed the holiday! (With controlled treats like this, I'm sure you did!) Hugs.
(Oh, now I have to fill my new Nook color tablet with your books! Whee!)
I haven't made these before but my kids love chocolate covered pretzels so I think I might give them a try. I have some white chocolate leftover from holiday baking so definitely worth trying.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great recipe!
