Easy to make, hard to resist. This is one of those addictive salty-sweet snacks, and the addition of crushed peppermint makes it even better. Ingredients:
1 (24-ounce) package vanilla-flavored candy coating |
1 (10-ounce) package large thin pretzels |
1 (6.75-ounce) package peppermint candies, crushed |
7 additional peppermint candies |
5 small christmas bows (optional) |
Directions:
1. Place candy coating in a large glass bowl, and microwave at HIGH 1 1/2 minutes or until coating melts, stirring once. Dip pretzels into candy coating, covering completely. Place coated pretzels on wax paper; sprinkle heavily with crushed peppermint. Let dry.
2. Place a single layer of pretzels around outside edge of a 12 serving tray. Continue layering remaining pretzels until wreath is 3 high.
3. Spoon seven small dots of remaining melted candy around top of wreath; press whole peppermints gently onto the wreath, allowing dots of melted candy to act as glue. Let stand until firm. Decorate with bows, if desired.
4. Note: We used Golden Flake fat-free pretzels. You may want to buy two bags just to be sure you get enough unbroken ones for one wreath.
