EASY PRETZEL BITES AKA ZEBRA NIPPLE TREATS

I asked my sweet friend Natasha to submit a recipe for my blog and I am super excited about this one. Pretzels are one of my favorite snacks and add some chocolate to it and mmm 😋

I had to add the fun name for this treat that they use at home. She wasn’t sure if I would want to use it but I loved it.
So here y’all go ZEBRA NIPPLE TREATS


Easy pretzel bites!
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place mini pretzels on the sheet and top each one with a Hershey’s Hugs drop. Put in the oven just long enough to slightly melt the chocolate drop. Top each drop with a red or green M&M. Allow to stand at room temp until chocolate is set! Store in an airtight container. Enjoy and share with friends and family!

Holiday Recipe~Lu’s Candy Bark 

YAY we have a Featured #HolidayDessert #Recipe today…Candy Bark by Hannah Hogner AKA Lu


You will need: Candy canes (flavor of your choosing – I like the plain peppermint canes) 8 oz Almond Bark mix 8 oz semi sweet chocolate chips Holiday sprinkles Rolling Pin Parchment paper

Unwrap the candy canes and place a few in a zippered bag. For the amount of bark that we made, we used three candy canes.

The next step is really fun for kids. Have them smash the bark into small pieces using a rolling pin. When smashing the candy canes, be sure to leave some large chunks as well as smaller pieces.

 Place a piece of parchment paper onto a cookie sheet. Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave and pour into the parchment paper covered cookie sheet. Spread the chocolate in an even layer. It will not cover the entire pan. You just want to create a square or rectangle of chocolate.

Next, melt the white chocolate in the microwave. Pour it on top of the semi sweet chocolate. Spread it over the chocolate layer evenly until the chocolate layer is covered. Now it’s time to sprinkle the candy cane pieces on the bark. The kids had lots of fun with this step. We also added some festive holiday sprinkles to the bark. Press the candy cane pieces and sprinkles into the bark a bit so they will not fall out when it hardens. Then put the cookie sheet in the refrigerator so that the bark could harden. This took about an hour to completely harden. Once it hardens, you can remove it from the parchment paper and break it into chunks.
