Chocolate Peanut Butter Pretzels and Holiday Bark




You would never think something so simple as pretzel rods coated in chocolate and drizzled in peanut butter would be so good, but oh my god, it is. The saltiness of the pretzels and the sweetness of the chocolate and peanut butter make it something you could just gorge yourself on for hours. Although I'm fat enough, so I probably shouldn't...

They are really pretty simple to make. Melt chocolate, coat pretzel rods in chocolate...


Melt peanut butter chips....


And drizzle over the pretzel rods until your sweet tooth can't take it anymore!

 Another yummy, super easy candy is holiday bark. You can use whatever you want really, you just need some sort of chocolate for the bark, and whatever toppings you find interesting. The new (and really pretty) winter Oreos, peppermint, and Christmas Sixlets. I actually prefer Sixlets to M&M's, not sure why....



I milk chocolate chips and white chocolate chips and melted them. The reason I have the chocolate chips separated is because after they are melted, I added red and green food coloring to plop onto the melted chocolate and swirl into it, making pretty designs.


After the chocolate is melted, you spread in out onto a piece of wax paper in whatever shape you would like.


After that, start plopping and swirling, I use chopsticks to swirl mine. Unfortunately, it was hardening so fast, I didn't have time to take anymore pictures. Sorry....

After the swirling, you just start tossing the candy onto it and pressing it into the chocolate. That's really all there is to it. So easy, yet so yummy.
