You can use a variety of pretzel shapes and combinations of Baker’s chocolate and sprinkles to make a wide assortment of these.br /br /I typically start with the standard small twisted pretzels, like the ones I use for a href=”http://mythreedoodles.blogspot.com/2008/07/look-at-wreaths-christmas-in-july.html”the pretzel wreath/a. I dip the pretzels as far as I can into melted Baker’s chocolate or almond bark (milk or white chocolate are both yummy!) without getting too much on my fingers. Then, I lay the pretzels across a large piece of wax paper, continuing one-by-one until I have quite a few laid out. Working quickly before the chocolate hardens, I either sprinkle them with sprinkles (the colored sprinkles work well with the white chocolate) or use the contrasting chocolate and drizzle it across the top with a spoon. They look messy on the wax paper, but they’re very pretty once they’re taken off and put in a bag!br /br /Cellophane baggies from the party store or a href=”http://www.orientaltrading.com/”Oriental Trading Company/a make the perfect little gift bags for these pretzels and other small goodies.br /br /br /a href=”http://www.mylivesignature.com/” target=”_blank”img style=”BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none” src=”http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54486/128/C1E73FBB079822C1EF0A1D29B27BADD8.png” //a
