Over the years I have met some amazing people through this blog. Some were in my life for a short time & then there are others that I have grown to know on a deeper level since way back in the day when I had just a few followers. I am so incredibly grateful for these wonderful angels the Lord has brought into my life. One in particular is Danelle from Let’s Dish Recipes. We “met” so long ago through our photography blogs & have continued to grow our friendship over the years. Danelle helped me with my 7 Days of Memory Making – Holiday Recipe Series last year while we were moving cross-country. It’s incredible how some can be such a fulfilling part of your life – even when you have never met them in person. Danelle is so special. I feel so blessed to know her & to have her posting here today. Please give a nice warm welcome to Danelle!
I don’t know how long Gina and I have been blog friends, but sometimes I forget that we’ve never met in “real life.” Our kids are about the same age, and I’m incredibly grateful for her fire fighter husband, who came to Colorado a few summers ago to fight the High Park Fire, which burned about 20 miles from home. And of course, you can’t be grateful for first responders without being grateful for their families, who sacrifice so much so they can do their jobs. So, to make a long story short, I just love Gina and I’m thrilled to be sharing a fun recipe on her blog today.
Since Christmas is literally right around the corner, I thought I’d share a fun treat you can whip up in a matter of minutes. And it’s so tasty, it might also be gone in a matter of minutes! You only need 3 simple ingredients for these white chocolate peppermint covered pretzels. If you can find pretzels in fun holiday shapes, that’s an added bonus. But no matter what kind of pretzels you use, be warned: this is the kind of thing you just can’t stop eating!
White Chocolate Peppermint Pretzels
White Chocolate Peppermint Pretzels
Ingredients
- 12 ounces white chocolate
- 1/3 cup finely crushed peppermint candy
- 8 ounces small salted pretzels
Instructions
- In a microwave safe bowl, melt white chocolate at 50% power for 1 minute; stir.
- Return to microwave at 30 second intervals (still at 50% power) until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Stir crushed peppermint into melted chocolate.
- Using a fork, dip pretzels in white chocolate and peppermint mixture.
- Tap fork on side of bowl to remove excess chocolate.
- Place pretzels on wax paper until set.
Hope you enjoy this fun and easy holiday treat!
Thank you so much Danelle – not only for sharing today but for being such a wonderful friend!

You’ve been on my mind, Gina. Praying for you! I hope you will be able to experience some joy this Christmas, even though it will be difficult without your mom. So glad Danelle is helping you through this time. Her pretzels looks delicious! We might have to add them to our list of things to make over the break.
