Do you have a recipe that you make every year—maybe one that is your signature recipe? If you were to ask my friends, they’d probably tell you that chocolate covered pretzel rods were my signature recipe. I make them every opportunity that I get. I love the sweet and salty combination, and the fact that you can customize them based on the occasion.

I make witch’s fingers and ghosts on Halloween, flag themed pretzels for the 4th of July, pink heart covered pretzels for Valentine’s Day…you get the idea! So naturally this time of year, I go crazy! I can whip up dozen of different designs like Santa Pretzel Rods, snowmen and more. But honestly my favorites are these Rocky Road Pretzel Rods. They are so simple to make and taste amazing!

The recipe is easily adjusted, so you can make as many as you need without having to do a bunch of calculations. Just melt some chocolate and start dipping those big crunchy Snyder’s of Hanover® Rods. When it comes time to add the goodies, why not get your family involved?! Place all the toppings and sprinkles in little bowls and have everyone add a little holiday flair. There’s no way to mess these up.

Once you are done, you have delicious treats that you can enjoy or package up and share with friends and family. I like to make a big batch, and then place them into a clear plastic bags tied with holiday ribbon then give as gifts with holiday cards. They make the perfect homemade gift for teachers, neighbors and community workers who tend to get neglected when gift giving rolls around. I can’t afford to give gifts to everyone who helps me each day, but I want to show my appreciation. These are the perfect way to say thank you and happy holidays to my mail carrier, sanitation workers, hair dresser and many other special people.
