So this year I have decided to branch out form my regular Christmas snacks. It seems as though I could never get enough slush or party mix, but maybe I could add a little chocolate to that. I am not much of a chocolate fan (but the rest of the family is) but I love white chocolate. I decided this year I would try dipping pretzels. So I turned to the Internet for instruction. (you can learn to do anything on the Internet) It looked pretty easy and I thought it would be something that both Matayia and Kaitlyn could help with, so off to the store I went. (twice) The melting went great and so did the dipping but Matayia was definitely good at the decorating. We decided to sprinkle,crushed candy canes, M&M, Toffee, and of coarse all the sprinkles we could find. Once we were done we were pretty impressed with our great looking and great tasting treats. We decided to hand them out for our "neighbor gifts" this year, so we packaged them up, tied on some tags and they were ready to deliver.
So, as soon as Kaitlyn got up from her nap she was excited to try one of Matayia's "dipped treats." She quickly chose one covered in M&M's and ran off to devour her treat in private. (I don't think she wanted to share) A few minutes later she came back to the kitchen, and handed me her pretzel with everyone of the m&m's chewed off. She said she was ready for another one!! So all in all I think that we have had a good time enhancing our treat menu with dipped pretzels this year. (We will be dipping more tomorrow, the girls about cried when we delivered them all to the neighbors!!)
