At the root of this treat is plenty of penny-wise practicality. I first started making the 'logs' after I saw some chocolate-dipped pretzels at a shop, explains Mary Biebl of St. Paul, Minnesota. They sure were appealing—but the price was outrageous. So I came up with my own version. Nowadays, I often tie bundles of plastic-wrapped 'logs' with ribbons to give out a Christmas, or I'll set a stack out on a pretty plate for a party. —Mary Biebl, St. Paul, Minnesota Ingredients:
1 pound white candy coating, coarsely chopped |
1 package (10 ounces) pretzel rods |
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips |
1 small heavy-duty resealable plastic bag |
Directions:
1. In a microwave, melt candy coating; stir until smooth. Pour into an ungreased 8-in. square pan or a tall glass. Roll or dip pretzels in coating, leaving 1 in. of space on the end you are holding; allow excess to drip off. Place on waxed paper-lined baking sheets; let stand until set.
2. In a microwave, melt chocolate chips; stir until smooth. Pour into a small resealable plastic bag. Carefully cut a very small hole in the bottom corner of the bag. Pipe stripe markings across the pretzel rods to resemble birch trees. Allow to set. Store in an airtight container. Yield: about 2 dozen.
