Holiday Baking

Ok, so I know I have been an awful food blogger by neglecting it for the past several months. I do have a good excuse, click here for my other blog that explains the circumstances. I do feel bad and since we had a huge snow storm today and I couldn't go anywhere I did some serious holiday baking and I decided I'd actually get an update on here. So here we go!

Caramel & Chocolate Covered Pretzels

1 pkg. pretzel rods
1 pkg. caramels
1 1/2 c. semisweet chocolate chips
1/2 c. milk chocolate chips
2 squares premium white chocolate

Break rods in half. Melt caramels according to directions. Dip rods into caramel about half way. Place on greased cookie sheet. Freeze about 15 minutes to set. mix both kind of chips and melt; dip cold rods into chocolate to cover caramel. Place on greased cookie sheet. Melt white chocolate and drizzle over chocolate rods. Refrigerate to set.

White Chocolate Trail Mix

Peanut M&Ms
Pretzel Sticks
Rice Chex
Corn Chex
Dry Roasted Unsalted Peanuts
White Chocolate Chips

Combine 1 large bag peanut m&ms, half a bag of pretzel sticks, 1/2 box each of the chex cereals, and 8 oz. peanuts in a large bowl. Stir all together. Separate into four batches. Melt four squares of almond bark for each batch according to the package directions. Pour over trail mix. Working quickly, spoon out clumps of the trail mix onto wax paper. Let sit until chocolate has set.
