featuring things that are, well, on my menu or someone else's menu... LOL So hopefully this time around, I can do a much better job about posting things. I have a new camera and a lot of things already in my computer to post.
So something sweet to start with... these were the 'sparklers' that graced a 'red white and blue' themed lunch at work.
1 package long pretzel rods1 package white chocolate chips or vanilla candy melts (I use Wilton)
red, white & blue sprinkles
Melt chocolate or candy coating in microwave - 30 seconds... stir... 30 seconds if not fully melted. I find melting them in my 4 C glass measuring cup works well - it's tall enough to dip the pretzels into and still have room to hang on to the end of it.
Roll pretzel rod in the melted candy - coating as much of it as you want. Sprinkle with the sprinkles. (I find that doing this step over a plastic container helps to minimalize the sprinkle carnage- it's either that or be sweeping up sprinkles for a year... lol ... also - when you're almost done, you have a lot of mixed sprinkles to coat a few - I had tiny round ones and also stars - so there are some with each separately as well as with the mixture) Set down on wax paper and allow to dry.
display in large drinking cup, or any decorative tin that allows you to stand them up.
Other successful variations:
Witches Fingers - dip in chocolate candy melts and sprinkle with halloween sprinkles.
Anywhoooooo....
It's on the menu...
