TUESDAY'S TREAT

A few weeks ago I discovered a yummy treat quite by accident. I was searching for an easy treat to take to a bake sale and decided to try chocolate dipped pretzels. Pretzels have never been my favorite snack, in fact, I think they are rather boring. But anything dipped in chocolate will get my vote. The recipe calls for honey-wheat pretzel twists which were easy to find in the grocery. Snyder's of Hanover makes a honey-wheat pretzel twist and surprise; they are very tasty!

PEANUT BUTTER AND CHOCOLATE DIPPED PRETZELS
4 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
1/4 c. creamy peanut butter
30 braided honey-wheat pretzel twists

Line a jelly-roll pan with parchment paper.
Place chocolate in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at HIGH 1 minute or until chocolate melts, stirring every 15 seconds. Stir in peanut butter until smooth. Working with 1 pretzel at a time, dip and roll 1 end of pretzel in chocolate mixture to coat. Place pretzel on prepared pan. Repeat procedure with remaining pretzels and chocolate mixture. Place in freezer for 30 minutes or until set.

NOTE: make-ahead tip: Dip the pretzels and store in the fridge on a parchment-lined tray up to 5 days ahead. Set out shortly before serving.
