Pretzels

Today I made chocolate covered pretzels.
Amanda's Chocolate Pretzel Delighticous

In a bowl that didn't blow up or melt in the microwave, I stuck some delicious chocolate chips and BUTTER! I then microwaved it for a little too long, and after stirring my chocolate DIP for the pretzels turned out to be more like a scrumptious fattening fudge. Yay, me. Then I had to stick it onto the pretzels (instead of dipping them in a delightful chocolately liquid) and they now look like - to put it mildly- someone was digging through the garbage to find the most disgusting/ different looking fudge that just happens to taste delicious. Go figure.
If I had any artistic ability whatsoever I would draw them, but instead you can just imagine reindeer dropping landing on Pretzel Time's inventory and that will be sufficient. They just taste a lot better.
My Mom says that the French say you feast with your eyes. In other words, I am no Julia Child, cook, or French person.

  1. I don't believe that you are no Julia Child. Someone who is related to your mother has no hope other than to create magic in the kitchen. Stick with it. It's in your genes, and if it's not, just wipe your hands on your pants and it will at least be on your jeans.
