or, in this case, chocolate dipped pretzels!
last year, rather than my usual cookie baking, i tried my hand at these pretzels. they were such a huge hit with my family, co-workers and friends that e and i decided to make them a tradition. for variation, they are half white and half milk chocolate this year. some with red, white and green sprinkles and others with crushed candy canes.
see the mini m&m containers? i have no idea how other people get them to stick. they seemed to be much too heavy for my pretzels and just slid off and made a chocolatey mess. they may have made for delicious snacking but were definitely not gift-ready!
80 pretzel rods are individually wrapped and ready to hand out tomorrow at work.
and tomorrow night, batch #2 - half to e's family and half to mine. yum!
did you make any holiday treats to share this year?
one crumb cake, one chocolate cake, 4 dozen meringues and 7 pans of cinnamon buns. Yum.

Yum Jen ... it sure looks like you had fun creating your pretzels and they look so pretty too ... very festive.
Hope you had a wonderful Christmas.

Those look yummy! I made cookies and banana nut bread for gifts.
