A Really Easy Treat

I made a no-brainer sweet, salty, crunchy, smooth, color-coordinated snack for our New Year’s Eve party.

A dish of white chocolate-covered pretzels on the left of the coffee table in the living room and Baci (kisses) on the right.

I started with a bag of short honey wheat pretzel sticks.

Then I melted white chocolate in a double boiler.

I found it easy to dip a large spoon into the chocolate and roll one end of the pretzel in the chocolate on the spoon.

I realized after sugaring the pretzel sticks I could have used much less sugar.

While the chocolate was still tacky I sprinkled it with blue and green sugar.

Let the pretzels dry on wax paper and store in an airtight container.

Unfortunately these are quite addictive.

Do you have an easy recipe for a simple snack?

Welcome to The Glade, where the second generation of renovations has just begun and the mania about our home, music and other passions fill our days and nights. We’re Charlie and Jo in the music world; Mary Jo and Charles to family; and JoJo and Charlie to each other. We are renovating a midcentury house in a Victorian historic district where we want to live there the rest of our lives. It's a 1946 house located in Maryland. We were married in this house. Thus far (pre-blog) we refinished cabinets, added a window seat (still working on the cushion), rearranged a wall in the guest house due to sink/vanity replacement, planted a vegetable garden, and other quick and not-so-quick fixes. So this latest zeal for construction is the result of my having lived here since 1997 and feeling a need to ready the house for the next chapter and beyond.
