I too love making the pretzel rods and the candy. I have found personally that if I go to the local candy store to get my items, they are MORE than willing to share some tips... without a doubt as you want to buy more items.. hehehe
You get your info and buy what you need but then you learn a trick or two as to what to buy when.
I have also used the flavor wafers that I get from the candy store.
The Oreo Truffles sound 'delightful'
Thank you so much for sharing!!!!
I also wanted to add that when I make my pretzels, I just get a large glass bowl my pampered chef one actually and melt a little bit of chocolate at a time in the microwave, I do lower the power and cook only for 30 sec at a time, after 2 cycles I attempt to stir the chocolate and determine how many more times I will continue doing so.. it doesn't take a lot of time but you do have to watch it and keep hitting the 30 sec on the microwave.
I then use a spoon and dip and scoop choc. onto the pretzel rod. I do use the large ones... and for those that break... I just dip the broken end in and those stay for my family.
this way they won't eat the "GOOD" ones that are for others/company etc...
I haven't dipped any in PB as of yet but is going to happen this year that is FOR SURE.. YUM!
What a great topic!
