Chocolate Covered Pretzels

    I know it's really early to even be thinking of Christmas, but I've been looking at easy recipes to give as simple gifts for family and friends.  Here's one that's a favorite of mine.

    Buy some small cellophane bags, tie with ribbon and you have a little something to give away.  Homemade items are always a big hit no matter how easy or complicated they are!

Chocolate Covered Pretzels

1 package almond bark - 1-1/4 pound
1 -12 ounce bag mini pretzels

Melt chocolate in double boiler until completely melted.  Put about 3/4 bag of pretzels into melted chocolate.  Stir to completely coat pretzels.  Pour over wax paper. (Try to separate the pretzels a little.) Let cool. 

 

I would recommend giving most of these away- otherwise you may be tempted to eat the whole batch in a couple of days!
