Peppermint Bark Pretzels

Christmas is less than a week away. You have your presents purchased and wrapped, the menu planned, the house decorated, and everything firmly under control, right?

Me neither. I have bought all my presents, but nothing is wrapped. Maybe we should do a green Christmas and not wrap the presents 😉

Peppermint Bark Pretzels

I have no idea what we are eating. Some kind of red meat most likely. I’ll probably wait until Christmas Eve to decide. Maybe a dessert, but then again, I want to spend Christmas having fun … not trapped in the kitchen.

The house is decorated, though on a lesser scale than some years. As for things being under control … well that never happens, but that’s life, you know?

In case you need a last minute treat for a party, work, school, or even a gift … maybe you just need a reward for all the holiday craziness … check out my Peppermint Bark Pretzels.

Peppermint Bark Pretzels

There’s something about that peppermint bark flavor that I never ever get tired of. I love reinventing it in new ways, and these pretzels are something I will make again and again.

They are fun and easy to make, allowing for a bit of stress relief. Plus, they are easy to make gluten free. I used Glutino pretzels which are amazing! A quick dip in chocolate or carob, followed by one in white chocolate, and a sprinkling of peppermint, and these are done. Sure they have to set, but it only takes a couple minutes and these are ready to eat. Snacking as you make them is encouraged too 🙂

Take a minute to celebrate and enjoy the season with these Peppermint Bark Pretzels!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 20 pretzel twists
  • 10 ounces dark chocolate or carob chips
  • 10 ounces white chocolate
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable shortening
  • ½ candy cane crushed

Instructions

Dip one side of the pretzels completely in the melted chocolate or carob. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet and allow to set while you melt the white chocolate.
  2. Melt the white chocolate with the remaining tablespoon of shortening in the microwave in 30 second increments, stirring in between, until fully melted. Dip the other side of the pretzel completely in the white chocolate and place back on the parchment with the chocolate or carob side down.
  3. While the white chocolate is still warm, sprinkle with the candy cane.
  4. Pretzels may be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.

    Glutino pretzels are the best! And with chocolate? Even better! Like your idea of going green and saving me gift wrapping! =)

    What lovely little treats! I do have my gifts bought and wrapped, mostly because I’m back to full-time work this year and I’m working until Christmas Eve. No last-minute shopping for me!
