Bark coating firms up this crunchy candy, and white chocolate boosts the flavor. Ingredients:
1 (16-ounce) package pretzel nuggets (we tested with snyder's of hanover sourdough pretzel nuggets) |
2 (16-ounce) packages vanilla bark coating squares, coarsely chopped |
2 cups (12-ounce package) white chocolate morsels |
1 (4-ounce) package white chocolate baking bars, broken into pieces |
1 (16-ounce) package hard peppermint candies, finely crushed and divided (about 2 cups) |
1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract |
Directions:
1. Combine first 4 ingredients in a 4-quart slow cooker.
2. Cover and cook on LOW 2 hours. Stir chocolate mixture; add 1 1/4 cups crushed peppermint candies and peppermint extract, stirring well to coat.
3. Drop pretzel mixture by heaping tablespoons onto wax paper. Sprinkle remaining 3/4 cup crushed peppermint candies evenly on pieces before they set. Let stand until firm.
4. Holiday Gift: These pretzels, with their festive candy coating, make great gifts around the holidays. Place the peppermints in a zip-top freezer bag, and crush with a rolling pin. Take your time when crushing the peppermints-you don't want large pieces or fine crumbs.
