I needed something fun for a 45th class reunion that would travel well. Michael's sells cellophane sleeves for pretzels which keeps them nice looking. All the 60+ year old "kids" went mad for them!

When my kids were younger I would make these for class parties. Always a crowd pleaser!

These are excellent, and offer a satisfying sweet, salty, and crunchy treat without a ton of fat and calories. The downfall is they're addictive so it's hard to stop at two! :)

I make these for the kids in my classroom as a special treat on or near a holiday. I wrap two in a cello bag and tie the bag with bright ribbon. It's a gift the kids love to get.

Made these for Memorial Day...what a hit! I used my double boiler and worked great. Made some with milk chocolate, too, and looked just as festive!

I use a small crock pot when I melt chocolate for dipping. It keeps it at a usable temp. and the kids can help with the dipping.

I have seen these before and they look harder to make than that! I have done the smaller pretzels dipped in chocolate and they take some time to do.
