Ingredients

• 12 ounces almond bark rough chopped and melted
• 1 bag pretzel crisps original flavor
• 4 peppermint candy canes crushed

Instructions

• Heat almond bark in a double boiler until smooth
• Dip pretzels one at a time in the melted almond bark turning to coat. Remove with a fork and tap off extra melted candy. Place on a baking sheet lined with wax paper and immediately sprinkle with crushed candy canes.
• Allow to set up before removing from wax paper.
• Place in a sealed storage container in a cool location.

Notes

If almond bark becomes too thick, place back over the double boiler to warm.

Depending on the number of pretzels you dip you may need more or less almond bark.

And don’t forget about our Classic Almond Bark Pretzels, they are just as delicious and easy-to-make!

Ingredients

• 24 waffle style pretzels
• 24 Rolo candies
• 24 pecan halves toasted

Instructions

• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pecans stirring often. Toast until the nuts pick up a nice color.
• Heat oven to 350°F.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat.
• Arrange the pretzels on the pan, and center a Rolo on each.
• Place in the oven for 4 to 5 minutes.
• Carefully push a pecan half into the Rolo (take care, the caramel it hot).
• Allow to cool completely before removing from pan.

Notes

Unwrapping the candy is the most time-consuming part of this treat. I later found that the ones that come in a bag are not wrapped, and also some stores carry them in the bulk section.
