Here is an easy and delicious Christmas (or anytime) recipe you might enjoy:

What you'll need:

Tall pretzel sticks

White, semi-sweet, or dark chocolate chips (if you like you can make some of each!)

Red and green sprinkles, mixed

Peppermints or candy canes (original peppermint flavor)

Wax paper or tin foil

Large baking pan

Large, deep, frying pan

What to do:

First, get out your baking pan and put a sheet of wax paper or tin foil over it.  Lay it to the side for when you're ready to use it.  Open up the bags of pretzel sticks and chocolate.  Pour the kind (or kinds) of chocolate into the deep frying pan (if you're using many different kinds, pour them into separate pans---Cookie and I usually use white and semi-sweet chocolate).  If you're using chocolate cubes, we suggest chopping them in half before dumping them into the pan.  Set your stove on low heat and place the frying pan over it.  Now you can get a large spoon and stir the chocolate until it melts (this might take about five or ten minutes).  Once you've melted the chocolate so it's nice and creamy, get a pretzel stick and dip one or both sides of it into the chocolate.  Once you've done this, set it on the pan.  Get the peppermints or candy canes and put them into a zip-lock bag after unwrapping them, so you can crush them into small bits with a spoon.  Sprinkle the pieces of the mints onto the chocolate end of the pretzel stick (if you have red and green sprinkles, you can do that instead of the mints).  Continue to do this until all of the chocolate-covered pretzel sticks are done.  Remember to set them in neat lines so they aren't touching each other.  You may make several pans, if you like.  When all of this is done, put the pans into a refrigerator or freezer so your dessert won't melt.  When it's ready, you can take it out of the freezer or fridge and serve it to your family, friends, or guests (they're good for any event).  Hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do!
