Technically the title of this treat should be -- Peppermint milk-chocolate drizzled white-chocolate-covered pretzels. But, that seems a bit much to try to fit. So, I made sure to include all the necessary adjectives...peppermint and chocolate-covered. That seems to be the most important and I'm all about Peppermint and Chocolate together! So, Peppermint Chocolate-covered Pretzels, it is.
These are really easy to make, don't require fancy tools, and let me tell you---taste amazing!! No really, ah-mahz-ing! With an extra z-ing! Â And they are one of those great holiday sweets that works really well as a gift. Â Make a a bunch of these, package them up in a cute tin or even just a plain box, and gift them to your neighbors, teachers, etc. Â Everyone will appreciate these as gifts, and you won't have to go crazy spending a ton of money. Â And these chocolate covered pretzels are certainly easier to make than traditional fudge or truffles!!!
