Chocolate Covered Pretzel Fudge
Oh my goodness we are so close to Christmas. I can’t believe it. That means that I’m also nearing the end of all my holiday treat sharing here for the next 10 months or so. Awwww, that’s kinda sad. But January means playoffs & that means great appetizer & tailgate recipes! YAY! I’m definitely looking forward to that. But in the meantime I just had to share with you all this delicious fudge recipe I made to take to the apartment a couple weekends ago.
You see, when I was picking up groceries I found some chocolate covered pretzels in the shape of Christmas trees. I knew I had to buy them because I would come up with some idea for a great holiday treat. I originally was going to do cupcakes but then decided I needed something a little easier to transport 400 miles. So I chose to whip up yet another fudge recipe. This one was so yummy. I love mixing salty & sweet. It’s a favorite combo, that’s for sure. We definitely enjoyed every piece.
