Chocolate dipped pretzels
An absolutely wonderful highly popular (semi) homemade holiday kitchen gift given at Christmas time is is the chocolate dipped pretzel. People love these things. The combination of crunchy and salty and sweet chocolate is just addictive.
Dipped pretzels have become such a popular gift that large bags of dipping pretzels are regularly sold at most grocery stores now, so it is quite easy to find any type of pretzel you wish to make these gifts.
Also, you are not limited to just melted chocolate for your dipping material. Think of all the types of chips out there these days: caramel, butterscotch, peanut butter, white chocolate, cinnamon, and so on. There are so many options available that the choices are almost getting insane.
And after you make your choice for the dipping medium, you then can decide if you want to cover, roll or sprinkle anything on the wet pretzel for decoration and/or additional taste delights. Some suggestions include:
miniature chocolate chips
white chocolate chips
caramel candies then pecans then chocolate
peppermint candies
miniature m&m candies
nuts, finely chopped
cake sprinkles
dried coconut
honey roasted peanuts
toffee candy
macadamia nuts with white chocolate
