Pretzels in a Glass
Ingredients:
1 pkg. long pretzel rods
1 pkg. almond bark, or vanilla candy coating
Decorations, such as red and green sprinkles, holiday M&Ms or crushed up candy canes
Directions:
Place the candy coating in a microwave-safe bowl. Make sure you do
not get any water in the bowl. Any water at all will cause the candy
coating not to melt properly and separate.
Microwave the candy coating for 1 min., then stir and microwave an
additional min., until it is completely melted and smooth.
Stick a pretzel rod into the chocolate, and with a spoon, cover about
3/4 of the pretzel with chocolate. Let the excess drip back into the
bowl.
Sprinkle the chocolate with either red and green colored sprinkles,
crushed up peppermints, or stick red and green M&Ms to the chocolate.
Place the decorated pretzel on a piece of waxed paper or aluminum
foil, and let it dry completely, about 1 hr. Gently pull the pretzels
off the paper.
Find a tall glass, such as a parfait glass, or one of those neat
glasses mixed drinks are served in.
Pour some holiday candies, such as M&Ms or hard mints, in the bottom
of the glass. Put as many pretzels as you can in the glass sitting on
the candies, but leave a little room for them to move around, so they
don't break when they are pulled out.
Cover the top of the glass with a piece of colored plastic wrap, or
you can cut a piece of holiday fabric, and double the width of the
top with pinking shears to cover.
Tie a pretty ribbon around the glass to secure, and you have a neat
gift for someone special!
