I have been busy in the kitchen all day- in fact, I think I’m calling it quits for the day(and maybe the week); I’ll see how I feel tomorrow, but I still haven’t wrapped a single present; I have laundry to do, and Zach is working on installing a headboard in our bedroom as we speak. I so better get on the stick. And speaking of sticks, I covered some in chocolate today. Pretzel sticks that is. I dipped them in white chocolate and milk chocolate and covered them in crushed M&Ms as well as colorful sprinkles. I hope the pictures below make you hungry. That was the goal. In fact, I ate so many of those, and sugar cookies, that all I wanted for dinner was jalapeno stuffed olives. And no, I’m not pregnant.
I would have loved to provide a play-by-play on this pretzel project but my schedule just isn’t going to let me. In fact, as soon as this posts, I need to shut the laptop, because it sucks me in like the Bermuda Triangle or a black hole, and doesn’t let me free of its grip. So until tomorrow when we visit the Hoover Dam, or maybe take a look at some newly weaned colts, I bid you farewell and leave you with thoughts of pretzels dancing in your head. Or is that sugarplums? Oh never mind!
Have a good one!

Mmm, chocolate covered pretzels are my favorite. Although, I think I’m about holiday treated out … my tummy is definitley rebelling! I wonder if those mini M&Ms would be good for this type of a project?
I used full-size M&Ms because that is what I had on hand, but the mini ones would have definitely been easier to work with. Thank God for The Pampered Chef because their meat tenderizer rocked the crushing of the M&Ms!
A headboard? What’s it like? I love bed stuff. Okay, that sounded weird, but you know what I mean. Those pretzels look yummy; what a great easy treat idea.
Guess what?
I got YOU to write my Secret Santa Spin on this week!!
So make sure to check it out.
Merry Christmas!! xoxo
Those look amazing!!! And now I’m hungry. This diet is going to LOSE this weekend…
I’m here via Maureen at Islands Roar – and I’m glad I stopped by! You reminded me that I left chocolate pretzles off our “baking” this year. Since I’m headed to the store (for the last time, again!) I’m going to pick the ingredients up.Thanks for the reminder!
You accomplished it, I’m hungry now! Those look scrumptious!
OMG, this is exactly what we’re doing tonight! Having a salty/sweet night of “baking.” You’ve doubled my inspiration.
I wish I had done some this year. I forget how pretty they are. Maybe that can be my Valentines project!
