Candy Cane Chocolate Covered Pretzels Recipe

Today I would like to share a super easy no-bake Christmas treat with you.  It is so easy even a 2 year old can make them – I kid you not.   Back in 2003 when our kitchen also was our laundry room too, I captured this video of Abigail (now 8.5 yrs old) making chocolate covered pretzels dipped in crushed candy cane.  She was only 2 years old and was the most adorable helper, ever!  Below is the short clip of Abigail making this on our extended counter space (washer and dryer) with me filming her with my (then) 11 month old daughter attached to me with a sling.

If you are looking for an easy, fast, no-bake holiday treat to make as a gift or to serve to guests, this is the recipe for you.  And if you have small children, this makes a great activity.  As you can see, my 19-month old son can do this – isn’t he stinking cute?  I present to you Chocolate Covered Pretzels with Crushed Candy Canes.  Happy Holidays and Enjoy!
