Sometimes we just need a little treat, either for ourselves or a little something to deliver to friends and neighbors. These little pretzel sticks are sweet, salty, minty, and just the right thing with a cup of hot cocoa. You may not even get to this point (since they’re so tasty), but they also look pretty wrapped in a mug with cellophane as a little gift to sweeten someone else’s day.
Shop at Dollar Tree — Here’s What You’ll Need:
- Pretzel Sticks
- 1 Bar of White Chocolate, 1.55 oz.
- 3 - 4 Peppermint Candy Canes or 1 Big Peppermint Stick
- Plastic Sandwich Bag
- Waxed Paper
Easy Step-by-Step Directions:
- Coarsely crush peppermints by placing them in a sealed plastic bag and whacking with a mallet or rolling pin. Pour broken pieces onto a shallow plate.
- In a microwave-safe juice glass (this will make dipping easier), heat white chocolate in 15-second increments, stirring each time until well melted and smooth.
- Dip pretzel sticks halfway into the white chocolate and coat well, then roll in the peppermint bits.
- Cool on waxed paper until set.
- Enjoy with coffee or hot cocoa, wrap in cellophane as a gift, or leave in a mug on a cocktail table as an after-dinner treat!
