Last Christmas I saw these fancy dipped pretzels in one of those
ritzy mail order cataloges. They sold for $15 for 6 pretzel rods!
I made several flavors and this year decided to make our favorite
for little gifts.

Rods are dipped in melted Ghiradelli White Chocolate and then
rolled in chopped pstachios.
Pretty beribboned packages are awaiting their gift labels.
These are going to all those special ed teachers, aides,
therapists, Sunday School teachers and the bus driver!
The baker got to eat any broken ones! :)

wow...that looks good. I thought it was pistacio nuts on there but had never seen it. Very unique idea :)
ReplyDeleteyay for the baker!! they are lovely!
ReplyDeleteWhat a delicious idea! I've never this tasty treat and now I can't wait to try it.
ReplyDeleteThey look scrumptious and will be a wonderful gift!
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful and look yummy. The recipients will enjoy them I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteBetsy! I love these! We make them every year! My girls can help with this one and use glittered sugars and nonpareils for giving to their friends.
ReplyDeleteYUM...the sweet and salty is DELICIOUS!
Your packaging is gorgeous!
That's a great idea! Buying presents for every teacher, therapist, and aide can really add up!
ReplyDeleteWow, now that looks like something even I could tackle with out a lot of fuss and mess. I bet your homemade rods are a lot better then the ones in the catalog and I bet a whole lot cheaper.
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful. Don't you love pistachio green?!
ReplyDeleteThose look good - and beautiful! Teachers are going to love you!
ReplyDeleteJamie ~ if you like the sweet~salty combination, these are yummy!
ReplyDeleteJill ~ yes, these would be a great kid-friendly project! You really can't mess them up and the possibilities of dips and sprinkles is endless!
ReplyDeleteMG ~ yes, I should have known you would love that green! ;)
ReplyDeleteOMGosh you so rock! What a wonderful idea to make these yourself.. they look beautiful. How did you find the time!
ReplyDeleteI love dipped pretzel rods! Thanks for reminding me--these would make a great treat this year:)
ReplyDeleteI love the pic of your mantel on the sidebar--are those little Longaberger baskets? Too cute!
Oh...those look great! It reminded me that I have some peanut brittle in my pick up that a friend gave me yesterday. I'm going to get it and have some. Great pictures. Strider
ReplyDeleteVicki ~ these are sooo easy...no baking or cooking involved! And I get all my stuff done while the boys are at school. Once that school bus comes down the street, it's all over for the day! :)
ReplyDeleteStrider ~ peanut brittle...yum!
ReplyDeleteLora ~ they aren't true Longaberger, but look just like them! And...so much cheaper...$4.99 each. yea!
ReplyDeleteBetsy, you are so clever. I just spoke to my daughter while I was looking at the pretzels and she said we can make those when I'm off the week of Christmas. They look so delicious!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I might be copying you if you don't mind! Those look easy and great!
ReplyDeleteBobbi ~ go right ahead...easy, cheap and very yummy...the best kind of gift! :)
ReplyDeleteSo after reading this post, I dashed to the store and got to work on my chocolate covered pretzel rods. They didn't turn out quite as cute as yours, but Emme and I had a lot of fun making them! Thanks for the great idea!
ReplyDeleteThere are always benefits to being the baker! I've done these before with sprinkles and other nuts. I'm not a pistachio girl, but my Sparky is. We buy the bags of them at Sam's and she eats them as a snack. She'd love your pretzels!
ReplyDeleteThey look delicious!
ReplyDeletethose look wonderful! You do amazing work! You always make everything look so very nice and comforting....your cookies and gift baskets and ideas like this are so creatively done! That brown bow really sets this package of pretzels off...and I bet they are as good as they look!
ReplyDeletevery nice!

Yummm can I order some? I mean it
ReplyDeleteyour pretzels and finsihed packages look great! i tried chocolate-dipped pretzel rods last year and the chocolate didn't want to stick to the pretzels. i'm sure i did something wrong!!
ReplyDeleteOh, my goodness, they are some lucky folks. Betsy, these look amazing. Heck, anything with Ghiradelli chocolate sounds like heaven to me...Yum!
ReplyDeleteYum - I'm gonna have to try these too!
ReplyDeleteThose look fabulous - I'm gonna give them a try. Thanks!
