To give these pretzel rods the fun flavor of s'mores, I sometimes use mini marshmallows and coarsely crushed graham crackers in place of the cashews.Joanne Wright, Niles, Michigan Ingredients:
1 package (14 ounces) caramels |
1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream |
24 pretzel rods |
3 cups chopped salted cashews or chopped pecans, toasted |
4 ounces dark chocolate candy coating, melted |
4 ounces white candy coating, melted |
Directions:
1. In a microwave, heat caramels and cream on high for 2-3 minutes or until caramels are melted, stirring after each minute. Stir until smooth.
2. Break pretzel rods in half. Dip the broken end two-thirds of the way into caramel mixture; allow excess to drip off. Roll in cashews. Place on a waxed paper-lined baking sheet. Chill until set.
3. Drizzle dark chocolate over dipped portion of pretzels; chill until set. Drizzle with white coating; chill until set. Store in airtight containers or wrap in cellophane gift bags and tie with a ribbon. Yield: 4 dozen.
