Gourmet Pretzel Rods




Hazelnut Heaven

1 container Nutella
1 pkg pretzel rods
1 pkg almond bark
1 cup crushed hazelnuts

Melt almond bark in microwave safe ( we used a paper bowl coated in wax for easy clean up) Microwave 4-6 pieces of almond bark 20 seconds at a time, taking out and stirring every 20 seconds, repeat until melted. If Bark hardens during dipping process just re microwave.

Spread Nutella over top 2/3 of pretzel rod. Dip in melted almond bark. lay on wax paper until slightly cooled ( it will have a light shine and be slightly sticky).

While cooling , place chopped hazelnuts on cutting board, spreading the nuts out in a thin layer.

Pick up cooling pretzel and roll across nuts. Lay back on wax paper until hardened.

Rice Crisps ( not a pretzel but the same idea)


1 pkg pre- made rice crispies treats
( or if you have time make your own for an even better taste!)
1 pkg almond bark

popsicle sticks
sprinkles of your choice



Melt almond bark in microwave safe ( we used a paper bowl coated in wax for easy clean up) Microwave 4-6 pieces of almond bark 20 seconds at a time, taking out and stirring every 20 seconds, repeat until melted. If Bark hardens during dipping process just re microwave.

Mold rice crispies treat into fudge bar shape. Dip in melted almond bark. lay on wax paper until slightly cooled ( it will have a light shine and be slightly sticky).

Pick up cooling "popsicle" and sprinkle with toppings. Lay back on wax paper until hardened.

All of these can be topped with anything you like, I love to top with nuts, crushed oreos, m &m minis, marshmallows, sprinkles and to drizzle with candy melts of various colors...they are all delicious
