For those that know me, whenever I need to take a little something as a gift, it's usually homemade and it usually involves chocolate. A few days ago I wanted to make a little something to say thank you. Some say thank you with flowers, I say thank you with chocolate. Chocolate Dipped Pretzels

I had to quick tie them up with a ribbon, just for their safety.
I've got some breaking news... Oreo's have now come out with the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup OREO.
For testing purposes only, I purchased a package.
The testing came out with a thumbs up, so I made them into sweet treats...
And guess what I dipped them in?
None other than peanut butter candy melts, more chocolate and chopped peanuts.
Yea, they were good.
Using my mini chopper, I chopped the peanuts until they were chopped pretty fine.
Or until my chopper started to smell like rubber burning, then I decided to quit.
If you want to give more of a healthy gift, why not do the same, dipping strawberries in chocolate?
That's healthy, right? Gourmet Chocolate Covered Strawberries How To HERE
Now they're ready to give to a sweet friend...
Or a friend that loves chocolate as much as you!
Be sure to make a few extra...Just in case!
Sweets for the Sweet!

That is an absolutely brilliant idea to dip the PB Oreos in Chocolate! I mean seriously genius!
ReplyDeleteYou're so sweet Julie, I seriously thought everyone dipped their Oreos in chocolate! :)
DeleteWith chocolatey gifts like these, I'd want to be the person on the receiving end! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd OMG did I just see peanut butter cup oreos? Now I want to just jump on a plane and live there forever, because we don't get those here, and that makes me sad. I NEED some of those... sigh. :(
