Pretzel Melts

Christmas cookies are great, but sometimes it's nice to mix it up a bit. Pretzel melts are delicious, quick, pretty and can be made using just about any kind of chocolate you have hanging out in your cupboard!



All you do to make these glorious little bites of sweet, salty, crunchy deliciousness is lay mini pretzels out on a cookie sheet, top with some kind of chocolate and put in the oven at 250 degrees until the chocolate begins to melt. Then, take them out and either leave them as is, or top them with something to add a little extra element to the party. I usually refrigerate mine or put them outside so they'll cool.

Little Tip: Make sure you don't let the chocolate melt so much that it all falls down in the holes of the pretzels. You want it to stay mostly on top of the pretzel, just melt it enough that it secures to the pretzel and will hold whatever topping you put on it.


Here's some of the varieties I have made.
-Chocolate (or Vanilla flavored) candy meltable wafers topped with M&Ms
-Hershey Kiss topped with Walnut
-Rolo Topped with Pecan Pieces
-Mini Snickers (Cut in half) topped with peanut
-Pretzels drizzled with melted chocolate and peanut butter (these ones are messy, the PB doesn't harden)
-Mini Reese's cup topped with peanut

The options are endless!

Get your creative juices flowing and dream up some delicious melts! They can be anything you want them to be, because it's essentially impossible for chocolate and pretzel to not taste good together!

Enjoy!
