Gather your supplies. I used:
chocolate candy melts
white chocolate candy melts
sprinkles
pretzel rods
Melt chocolate according to directions. I used a microwave safe mug so the chocolate would be "deep" enough.
Once melted, dip your pretzel rods in the chocolate and then press into the sprinkles coating all sides.
I found some cool sprinkles that included tiny pumpkins.
Place pretzel rods on a cookie sheet covered with wax paper.
Drizzle with white chocolate. I found this cool spoon made just for drizzling although it wasn't really necessary. I found the white chocolate candy melts to be rather thick--next time I might try a white chocolate candy bar.
Gather the finished pretzels into a pretty glass and you have an instant centerpiece for your Halloween table!
Aren't they fun? My grocery store even sells bags specifically for these so you can package each of them separately. Great teacher gift at Christmas, don't you think?

On her blog, The Farmer’s Daughter, Shelby McDonald is growing
her audience as she posts recipes, gardening tips, and her experiences
raising two kids and running Love Blossom Farm in the small western
Michigan town of Lovett.
Working the farm is demanding but peaceful—until that peace is shattered when the minister’s wife is murdered on Shelby’s property during a fund-raiser for a local church. But the manure really hits the fan when Shelby’s good friend veterinarian Kelly Thacker emerges as the prime suspect. Shelby decides to dig in and find the murderer by herself. As more suspects crop up, she’ll have to move fast—before someone else buys the farm. . . .

Enjoying all the holiday recipes. Love those sprinkles. And the series is great!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you're enjoying it!
DeleteGreat fun and seasonally adaptable.
ReplyDeleteAnd who can argue with anything covered in chocolate?
Hubby agrees. He made them disappear pretty quickly!
DeletePeg, just this week I saw a bark recipe that recommends adding a tablespoon of vegetable oil to 8 oz of white chocolate to make it melt more smoothly.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like just what I needed!
