Break six of the almond bark squares into a glass bowl. 

Microwave for 1 minute on high. Do not overcook. When you take the bark from the microwave, it may appear to still be chunky, but do not put it back in the microwave. First begin to vigorously stir. The hot bark should finish melting the rest. 


*****It is important not to burn the bark!*****

*****
Drop each peanut butter cracker sandwich into melted bark.


 Bring out with fork and lightly tap off excess chocolate bark.


  Put on wax paper to set up until chocolate is firm. 
If you have a little bark left, and no more peanut butter crackers to drop in, you can add any nuts you may have on hand for some chocolate covered nuts or clusters. I did some almonds, and a few peanut clusters.

My chocolate was beginning to harden a bit, so I put it back in the microwave for 15 seconds, stirred in the almonds, and quickly dropped them onto the wax paper. 

 Half the package of dark almond bark (6 squares) made what you see below.

*****
Storing
I layer these in an air tight container using wax paper between each layer so they don't stick to together. Although it doesn't happen at my house, these will keep for about two weeks. In 75 degrees or less, there is no need to refrigerate.

Until next time!
May your blessings be many and your troubles be few!

Chocolate covered pretzel Rods

I am blessed to have a couple of my grandbabies visiting for part of their summer, and our little Jaley Bean has her third birthday coming up. She put in a request for chocolate covered pretzels with sprinkles. So we had some fun making them for her!


*****


 Ingredients:
White Almond Bark
Pretzel sticks of choice
Sprinkles - optional

Supplies:
Glass bowl
Fork
Butter knife
Wax paper

Also optional: cute little 3 year old who needs to see and smell every little thing along the way!

*****


Break almond bark into squares. If using half the package (6 squares) microwave on high for 1 minute. If using all 12 squares, microwave on high for 2 minutes. Some of the bark might still seem hard, but once you begin to stir, it will all melt together.
Stir until creamy.

Pour melted bark into tall glass or jar for dipping the pretzels.
I let my Jaley Bean dip the first one. 

We poured our sprinkles into a glass as well thinking we could dip the pretzel into the sprinkles. This didn't work out so well. 


(we kept it anyway because the kids and hubby don't mind how it looks!)

We tried putting the sprinkles in a plate and rolling the pretzel, but that didn't work either, so we sprinkled the sprinkles onto the pretzels before the bark set up.
So Jaley Bean got her chocolate covered pretzels with sprinkles!
Store in airtight container.

 Until next time!
May your blessings be many and your troubles be few!
